Thank You very much. Saved me a lot of time fabricating something for those Bakeolite connectors. Finally got to this point on my 69 restoration and came to realize that I should have put them in before attaching the body back on the chassis. No freakin way was I going to lift the body again. I searched a lot until I found You and your solution. I used the 4” grinder and just carefully removed what was needed to work them in place . I’m pretty well versed on these old bugs, but never ran into this issue. Nice color on yours, looks pretty close to the color I painted mine. Thanks again. Anything I can ever help you with , give me a shout.
Not that you’ll do it again but, for others watching, CSP exhaust and CSP heat exchangers bolt straight on, German car and aftermarket German engineering, same sort of price 😉. NGreat content and great honesty, I do enjoy your channel👍🏼
Spot on, I've been through all this when I fitted a stainless exhaust to mine. I removed those little heater boxes that the cardboard pipes plug into and heat has never been the best since. Its an engine out job to fit those boxes again though so it can wait. Also if you wanted to eliminate those bakerlite things you could use silicone ducting, I didnt realise they contained asbestos. Great content.
Great video. Only one suggestion not related to the heating. It is important to insulate/cover the positive battery connection. That connection is positioned just under the back seat which is a ground/earth that can short and cause sparks and a fire.

You can opt to have the flanges welded on from vintage speed too, which I only found out after.
Great I’ll look into that
@@stevethetiler you just need to specify what exhaust you have when you're ordering.

I don't have the stock rear seat but yes, in stock applications I put a rubber floor mat over the battery.

Desperate price for a birra heat!
They are pricey for sure but the quality is there.
