Subject: 6 cyl heater re assy issues
1. I noticed this also when recently re-building my heater. The original
seal is not an O-ring but is beveled on top/bottom at the edges to fit the
recess in the fitting. The O-ring I got from Moss was "big" but seemed to
fit "OK".
2. This metal "washer" is soft aluminum and can be forced over the flange
to secure the fitting in place. I was able to pry it off and then later to
force it on again.
3. I'm interested in the answer to this question. I bought one plate from
Moss & another from Austin Healey Spares. Mine was missing when I got the
car in 1976. One of the replacements was very much better looking (blacker
& better graphics) than the other (don't know which supplier was which) so I
installed the best one. Is there a record of the numbers stamped so I can
re-stamp it and doe's someone have detailed description of the stamped
lettering size & style?
