heater/ A/C box restoration questions
« on: October 07, 2010 - 09:53:47 PM »
 :clueless: :dunno:

Alright, I've managed to get myself this far.
repaired/Restored the HVAC box, check.
Refinished the metal parts, check
Replaced the charcoal foam seals, check
Replaced the gaskets, check.
Tested the heater cores, check..
I have a few questions....

1.) EXACTLY Where does the Dum-Dum caulk go?

2.) where does this seal go?

3.) Is this where this seal goes? (It looks like it went there, as there was evidence from a previous seal) (long slightly thicker seal next to the one I'm holding)


Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Dan

The dum dum caulk seals the two halves together on final assembly.

I re built a non A/C but not an A/C unit. I think where you show the flapper vent is where the foam glues to the edge.

What did you do for a guide/instructions on how to do this?  I need to do the same on my 73 with A/C.  Did you use a kit and if so from where?  I think redoing my dash/wiring/AC/Stereo all at once is going to be my big wintertime project.

I'm guesssing but perhaps this is where they go.
Does the length match up?

Jim,

I got the Kit from DMT technologies. They are awesome!
Highly recommended.
DMT has a website that has the how-to, as a downloadable PDF. I printed it out and used it a s a cheat sheet. JIC. I needed it more than I thought.
Kit costs 70$ and worth every penny.
I found out where it went. It was the flapper seal for the metal plate with two screws.
The Dum-Dum was a little tougher to figure out. :clueless: hope I got it right

The pics shows where it was: The piece with 2 screws in it..
