Heater rebuild
Posted: Tue Feb 12, 2008 10:30 am
Hi,
I know this has been discussed a few times but I can't find an answer to my specific questions about the materials required to refurbish my Plus 2 heater.
I found this site which may be useful for the bits:
http://www.smfoam.co.uk/index.html
Problem is I don't know what kind/size of foam I need.
Firstly, should I use an open or closed cell type for the flaps and around the matrix?
Also, what thickness would be required for wrapping around the matrix?
From what I have gleaned from the archives, a foam strip about 3mm thick would be about right around the flaps but what kind of width will I need?
I'm asking this in advance - I haven't got the heater unit out yet (still removing the dash) so apologies if I'm asking stuff that's obvious when it's apart
Cheers
Robbie
