11/73 Midget MKIII - Heater Core Foam Thickness?

[AngliaGT]

Pulled the heater box/core out of the Midget.The foam around the heater core was toast. What do I need,in order to replace it?And where does the foam go around it.The old foamrubber was dust,so I got rid of it,before making notes about where it was. - Doug

I don't know what is original but I have always used that stick-back foam from Lowes/Home Depot made for windows
I try to find the 3/8" x 3/8" stuff- it is a buck or two for a roll

Bill, are you talking about seal to battery shelf? Isn't there something that goes inside the heater box as well?

 

[Billm]

Ah- you are right!
The seal around the heater core is just common felt (as much as is required)
Thanks
Bill

Like from our local JoAnn Fabrics store? Upholstery Felt?

 

[Billm]

Yep- just common felt

Where did the internet go while you were on vacation?

Or where did Bill go that the internet wasn't see-able! I thought it was everywhere now days!!

The internet IS everywhere but getting wifi service isn't (for those of us who don't have smartphones)
My oldest step-daughter just got married and we were out for a week

Congrtulations on the new Son-In-Law. I think you are smarter then any phone in my humble opinion.

 

[nomad]

Yes, congrats Bill.

When we travel it seems we have to hit a Mc Donalds to use their wi fi if there is no other option. I'm blissfully technology illiterate and I love my flip phone!
