ahhh winter is finally here in ca. Last week while taking my daughters car to work(no heater...34 degrees) i decided to look and see whats up with her heater. About 2 hrs later i had functioning heaters on both sides.(hurray!!)minus the fresh air hose. are they on both sides of the car? i only have 1 factory elbow (left)the right one i made from aluminum flex hose hose clamps and gum. (well maybe not gum but i thought about it...lol) Next project was the fresh air fan. hers had a broken switch when she got the car so at the last bug-o-rama i got the whole fresh air box all the tubing (including the defroster tubing and vents) and a switch for $5.00. as soon as i got home i put the switch in but still didnt work. So yesterday i took the new one and wired it up and turned the switch only to find the bearings in the motor were dry... soooo i took the motor out of the fan housing.took the fan off the motor and oiled the bearings slapped it all back together and proceeded to install the contraption under the dash. What a hassle that was. good thing i have a 14 year old son to hold the dumb thing up while i got the bolts fastened. Well "eki" now has working heaters and fresh air fan to help defrost her in the mornings..I also pulled the seats off thier rails to grease the sliders.. does anyone know if the seat sliders(the plastic ones)are still available for a "71 square? All 4 are in dire need of replacement. Sorry this is so long and rambling. alex sundberg father of a '71 square owner "eki" __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
