Heater box support rod
« on: January 04, 2010 - 09:09:31 AM »
Does anyone have a picture of the rod that supports the heater box up to the cowl?  My car hasnt had one since i took ownership.  Does anyone know where i can get my hands on one? Thanks and HAPPY NEW YEAR.

I was thinking about a battery hold down.  Anyone know how long the rod should be?.  I am assuming it goes through the heater box in the front ( side toward passenger compartment because there is a hole there that is broken out a bit on my box.

then thee is no strap , the hook has a small bolt on the outside of the heater box near the top of the box under the vent from the cowl , the J bolt is inside the heater box & hooks up into the metal cowl vent .
