Re: Re: Heater Box Rebuild

[Mike & Deb <mdlefevre@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Vic,
I rebuilt the huge mouse retirement home/heater box for my 1965 Belvedere with a seal kit from Detroit Muscle. Nice fit and quality. Just blast the pieces and repaint. I did have some time invested in finding nonleaking vacuum actuators. Eastwood makes some imitation metal colored paints you might also need.The bottom deflector in my assembly is fiberglass and a light dusting in my glass bead cabinet and some clearcoat paint really brought it back to life.

I got my estimate.  Although it looks like they do real nice work, the price is more than I want to spend:  $500+ for the heater and $100+ for the driver side air vent.

Looks like I will be doing it myself.  I know Rock Auto has new cores.  I saw rebuild kits somewhere just can't remember where!  I'm sure I bookmarked the site but my bookmark list is so long, it is probably easier just search from scratch.  

Walt, if your vendor comes to mind, let me know.

I rebuilt the heater in my 65 Valiant last fall.   Wasn't  difficult at all.  

I have the non AC box so things are pretty simple and straightforward.

Can't seem to find the receipt for the kit or the core that I purchased....will do

more thorough search for the vendor/receipt if it would help.

The kit was great with all seals, new clips, new cardboard, etc....

What needs to be rebuilt?

Hi All,

Darn, used the wrong email address the first time around.  

Has anyone used MrHeaterBox () to rebuild their heater?  The heater in my '64 Barracuda is in pretty rough shape.  I think I could do the rebuild myself if a can get a rebuild kit.  But as a time saver, I was thinking about farming out the project.  I've asked them for an estimate.  Just wondering if anyone had any experience with them.http://www.mrheaterbox.com/

Thanks,

Vic
