oh so you using the later model heater on the inside with the early model outside surround..

thats a good idea..

bedford heater fans are flippen useless.. only thing there good for is getting you van passed roadworthy!!!!

better off to just channel air into there.. works a heck of a lot better than a heater fan.

cheers
ben

Last weekend I put in a recond alternator, this weekend I finally did the balljoints.  it seems one of my upper wishbones was buggered due to the ball joint slopping around so the previous owner just welded the ball joint in. 

As we couldnt see the welds it took some getting out with the hammer before the the welds broke.

As I had driven 100k out of town to a mechanic colleagues place to fix it, the new one was welded in also.  The welds do the same thing as ball joints that fit but I guess I probably should look for an upper passenger wishbone one day so if anyone has one lying arounf in WA from a 76 van please let me know.

Well although ive not had anything done yet:( I did do 3 x 13hr shifts purely to get the money for work to be done:( i know...doesnt qite count...but i just wanted to pop my head up and say "im still here...even tho im not as close to track as id hoped...i love my van, and i aint ever gunna give her up" (although im certain it is my mechanical son...stubborn and a pain in the arse...just like me (cause if i had a daughter she would be sweet and cute and daddy's little girl" although come to think of it, same year of birth, male, maybe we are twins? did i mention i just did 3 x 13hr days...im not what i used to be:(.
