Title: wanted - heater parts
Post by: mezzmo on April 28, 2014, 02:45:07 PM: Due to my ever increasing Budget Blow Out on the new Beddie, i have made the decision to not include the aircondtioning at this stage. So this leaves me in a little bit of a dilema, i need some parts for my current heater assembly - i hope you can help - what i need is:

The original Heater tap - i'm not interested in the aftermarket job - don't like the look
The original Heater dash panel - the old style that was mounted into the metal dash vertically, not the later horizontal one.
The 2 cables if by chance you still have them.

Thanks gang, hope someones got some stuff!!

Cheers

Mezz

Post by: Gordon on April 30, 2014, 05:36:13 AM: Mezz, is the heater valve listed on eBay the exact one that you are looking for?

Reason I ask is the one on my CF1 looks different (picture of mine attached below). Problem is the valve uses a rubber ball internally that seems to perish when not in use. My valve was working fine but after a year long rebuild of the van when it sat dry it now leaks. Bas had a good working unit that he kindly gave me that has been in storage for a while and his one did the same. I guess they don't like being left to dry out. I'm looking at some universal units listed on eBay that were used on London Taxis to see if I can get one of these to work. The other alternative is a newer plastic unit from a VW Golf or similar. Would prefer to have the old school look though.

I'll let you know how my investigations go.

Post by: mezzmo on April 30, 2014, 08:06:01 AM: Yes Gordon, the one on ebay is exactly like mine, the one in your pic i don't think i have ever seen. I am hoping i may have fixed mine as i have tested the seals etc and they are all fine and still plyable - hopefully it works.

No worries Bas, it was good of you to let me try it.

Mezz, I'm glad to hear it looks like you are all sorted now.
