Published by Len Fortin under Tech Talk

Club member Michael Cooke is in the process of repairing and upgrading the heater box and controls on his 1973 MGB. He has succeeded in removing the heater from the car and is now waiting for parts, which will arrive in the next week or two. Since the heater unit is now stripped apart, he can share the details of the work so far and the plan to continue when the parts arrive. A Show and Tell Technical Session is set for Saturday Oct 12th at 9:00am. Address: 85 Ashgrove Crescent, Nepean.
