Did you use a right angle fitting for the coolant hose fittings. With the standard fitting that came with the heater I don't have enough room behind the heater for the hoses.

My friend just had this issue with the regular straight hose so he fixed it with right angle ended hoses. He used two 105176 hoses which go from the engine to the bulkhead and coupled them to his existing straight hoses with simple metal connectors and clips. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lebro Posted February 7, 2022 Report Share Posted February 7, 2022 (edited) Why not use the remade standard right angle hoses that go from the heater to the bulkhead which are longer ? 602057Z (moss) or 602057X (rimmers) https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-602057 Bob Edited February 7, 2022 by Lebro Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have a largish order for a few of us with Moss. They don't have a picture for the hose, I assume it is right angled at one end and long enough to go from the heater to the firewall?

Lebro Posted February 7, 2022 Report Share Posted February 7, 2022 If it is the same as the rimmers one, yes, probably wise to check. mine came from the TR shop, I expect they are all the same. Bob Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You can see them hanging down here ready for fitment to the bulkhead connectors. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Problem I recall was they got stupidly expensive. My suggestion was based on what you might have locally, as you cannot just 'pop out' to the likes of Moss from Oz. Maybe your local car care stores would stock a length of 1/2" bore hose with a right angles end. Cheers Peter W Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't want any money for it but can't bring myself to throw it away. I also have a set of 5 fixing bolts for the hardtop which I didn't get round to using before selling my TR3A. Who should I send them to? Contact me t.knight3 at hotmail.co.uk best Terry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Blue Sky Posted May 14, 2022 Report Share Posted May 14, 2022 I think I have a usable heater/core sat on the shelf. Not sure how you'd get it to Oz for a reasonable price? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Can you send me some close-up photos? Thank you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Blue Sky Posted May 17, 2022 Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 Hi John, I will get it off the shelf this weekend and take some photos. I know it doesn't leak as it was working when I removed it from the car about 3y ago. Make a donation to the RSL and its yours - I will look into freight options and get back to you.

Mark Macy of Macy's Garage here in the US midwest does a T7 heater and fitting kit, too. Part number MCY403. US$270 as of this writing. The issue for this group is that after an number of difficult experiences, Mark doesn't ship internationally. But if you're over here on holiday, I guess... https://macysgarage.com/parts-accessories.htm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted May 20, 2022 Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 Just decided my T7 heater needed a lower central outlet Bought the Louvre from T7 and pierced a 68 mm hole in the blanking plate to accept it. Also made a couple of plastic extenders for the side vents so they would fully open and swivel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Blue Sky Posted May 23, 2022 Report Share Posted May 23, 2022 John, Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, but please see attached photos of my heater core. I need to remove the fan motor but hopefully it gives you enough to go on. Let me know whether you want to proceed, no worries if its not up to muster for your immaculate car. Cant compete with your 27y, only did 14y myself. I have a good oppo who was RAN, served on the Vampire's last commission. Hopefully, get to have run ashore again now that he can travel. last Best wishes, Laurence Quote Link to post Share on other sites
