I grok the aux heater boxes, the elbows and the missing small tubes, but what's 
different about the tin, other than no holes for the missing small tubes? I'd 
expect the tin to just be forward of where the muffler/HEs bolt to the head. Is 
the fan housing the same?  

I passed one of these up a few years ago at a swap meet. I just didn't think 
I'd ever run into anyone who needed it, plus he wanted real money for it. I'll 
know better next time.
