      Heat 1 and wire speed 6. It's an old Blue Point 115 MiG. If I turn the speed down and heat up I burn through even the new metal. They said 2-3 on heat and 4-5 on speed. Don't work for me.

    On cleaning in that back louvre area, I was wondering if one couldn't take a small piece of cable, run in through a small pipe (like copper), with just enough sticking out to give you a frayed end. Crimp the pipe and stick other end in a drill to give you an extended wire brush. If small enough, could fit in those louvres, and let you wire brush the insides. Loving your vids!

  • @ChrisJEllis
    @ChrisJEllis 5 дней назад

    Well the heater channel or tunnel is basically the rocker panel on the whole side. Thats one thing nice about a VW beetle. They put the heat in the back from the engine and use the rocker panel to pump it up to dash. So you replace them and you have new rockers.
