Re: Heater door placement in firewall for Otwell heater

The original Otwell fits the fire wall profile a lot better. They come up on E-bay once in a while, worth the wait. The rolled up aluminum flat stock works well between the door and the manifold.

Re: power disconnect switch

With the small amount thread you have on the switch you could mount it in the hole of the rear motor mount. You have to lift the hood to check oil anyway.

Re: Do You Guys Constantly Re-touch Wheel Spokes?

A little tape on the bar of a 4- way lug wrench and a rubber bumper cut to fit inside the socket helps to keep it off the hub works well.

Re: Smaller wheels for transport?

Let most of the air out of the rear tires and have a couple Husky friends sit on the bumper till you clear the doorway. Most tudors the height is in the rear. Make sure

Re: Cabin Fan

Don't drill any more holes, mine was a column mount. Get rid of the strap and run a round head 1/4-20 through the center hole in the dash panel.

Re: Heater hose connection

Roofing flashing, cut to depth, roll up, insert it from the firewall door and let it unwind.
Remove with with needle nose pliers. If you screw it up no problem, make another one.
