    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.

    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)

    Hi bud i have found your seals vid. How did you go with the front vents? Defender stickons?

    • @rovertasmania7033
      @rovertasmania7033  2 года назад

      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

    • @rovertasmania7033
      @rovertasmania7033  2 года назад

      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.
