Heater Fan Cover

[1 Finger Bandit]

On the 400SE there is a black cover on the bulkhead that covers the heater fan. I had some of these vac formed as mine was missing. Found them in the garage today whilst having a clear out. Anyone out there ned one?

Cheers

Hi mate,

Copied from Hotty's 400SE but no hole on his

No hole in mine either.

Hi

I bet people with holes steam up!
As the only fresh air you get is via the drivers open window, past your left leg into the fan via a hole beside the clutch pedal!
Were if you had a hole in the cover in the engine bay fresh air goes strait to the fan and then you don't have misting up problems.

Ah, but the cabin warms up faster as the heater is a recirculator Besides, I suspect most wedges are now summer-only cars.
Th eorignal Tasmin heater used to draw fresh air in through the bonnet vents but the bonnet rarely sealed to the heater box properly allowing road and engine bay fumes into the heater, I imagine that's why they quietly did away with the idea. Surely having the hole in the heater box recreates that same problem?

don't seem to have a problem with fumes, but over the winter i will route a pipe to the front of the car.
