I was very lucky to fit nd on eBay a 24 v Clayton round heater as new for 70 quid. I managed to get the core swapped into my smith heater and it’s really good! Rep Clayton cores are 300 quid. Being 24v put loads of people off, but I only needed the matrix. I sold the front cover off the Clayton for £1 on eBay recently. Woohoo!
Well done....Ive enjoyed the vids and have learned some thanks , im 90% through mine now. Taken me 2 1/2 years so far . So I know how much time and effort goes into these , well done.
Good to know someone else going through this. I calculated that mine is in fact a few months over 3 years! That last 10% is hard, usually fiddly bits that makes you feel like no progress. All the best with yours, finish it as I can say its a huge relief to get it done.
She looks great!!!.well done.cant believe ya got the seal in the local hardware store😂.I would of put them wheels on and then found out the car don’t fit under the door 😏.Good luck with inspection 👍
Great update. Truck looks great!! Do you have a part number or size of the D sealing? One candle power headlights. Ha ha!! I still have the original 1962 rad in mine. Interested in see the radiator restoration process.
D seal is a Moroday brand, 18mm wide x 16mm high. They have more sizes but this one fits mine great. As for Rad, I wont be doing this, ill be sending it out to get a new core put in, they also fix the top and bottom tanks too (soldering cracks etc)
@@rovertasmania7033 aah ok. Gotcha. I’ll take a look around for that size to try out. I took my radiator to a local shop and they soldered all the holes. Kind of over charged me but it’s pressure tested and ready to go.
@@rovertasmania7033 for a recore sound about the same price over here. It’s worth the investment for another decade of service. 😀 Hopefully I’ll get a few years out of mine before a recore.
I measured the channel width and then bought the D shaped one from Bunnings. There are a few options only, so pick the dimensions that suit the door gap you have.
Great job, thanks for taking us along for the ride, time to enjoy it!!!
Thanks! More vids will come, but this time driving to great Tassie destinations (and no doubt some upgrades/maintenance)
@@rovertasmania7033 Love a good road trip doco :-)

@@conrad1468 Yeah its not cheap, for me its around $700aud! But it will last another 50 years :D

Hi bud i have found your seals vid. How did you go with the front vents? Defender stickons?
I used self adhesive foam type strips (I used the ones for house window draft sealing) and stuck it to the vent itself, not the bulkhead.
Hey mate what’s the dimensions of that rubber door seal?
, got a similar issue. Thanks
I measured the channel width and then bought the D shaped one from Bunnings. There are a few options only, so pick the dimensions that suit the door gap you have.
what was the hardware store you talk about for the seals
Bunnings, but others may also carry them.
