A rare break in the weather yesterday. 50 and sunny!
I took advantage of the pleasant day to replace the Aux fan on the
SDL heap and then I replaced the porcupine on the heater box, taking
out the manual switch I installed in Nov to have some defrost.
Now the Heater works as designed.
the plug on the car wiring harness pulled apart when I extracted the
plug from the old fan. It pulled out part of one contact. When
spring comes, I will need to repair the plug, since the aux fan is
not needed in the winter. It may work as is, but I won't count on
it.
It is good to know that for a temp fix in the winter to replace the
porcupine, you can use a $5 switch in place of the $600 porcupine.
total cost: $50 for parts.
The old heap still runs like a dream.
Earlier, I found the 30 amp flat fuse holder melted. I bought a
automotive plug-in fuse holder at FLAPS and connected it with wire
nuts. Not recommended for show cars, but for a heap, it works, and
now the fuse is available anywhere.
Now I need a new seat spring. Unfortunately, there don't seem to be
any of these cars in junkyards near here. There is a 300D 123 in a
yard 135 miles away. I think that spring will work, but not
positive, so I will probably keep looking for a 126 seat spring.
