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?
 
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?
 
Yep- just common felt
(I am now back from vacation and can see the internet again)

The internet IS everywhere but getting wifi service isn't (for those of us who don't have smartphones)

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!
