B****d* Heater

[Dane_Rescueman]

Has anyone had my luck ?

I have the engine and gearbox out to overhaul the engine and install a type 9 in place of my "Rocket".

I noticed a small furry crack in the otherwise smooth [Cortina] heater casing. Upon poking this area with one of my digits a huge chunk of rotting plastic fell off. Upon taking the heater out it completely disintegrated leaving just the part in the picture.

I have a wonderplan and will share it with you if and when it works!

I'm not going to poke anyother bits - there is not much left!

(for Noel, this is why I cannot make the next couple of meetings, sorry)

Oh dear, oh dear! It looks worse than mine did! I only had a smallish cracked bit and that was taped up. If your wonderplan works I will be intrigued to hear about it but if not, ask Uncle Danny if he has a replacement - he usually has most parts required. Or someone on the forum may have one for offer!

Your 'digit' incident reminded me of an occasion I went to view a car with purchase in mind. My wife accused me of having 'tungsten tipped' digits went they produced b---y great hole in the sill of the particular vehicle-vendor was not amused to say the least. look forward to reading the unabridged version!
