E-body discovery, the heater box support
« on: July 29, 2007 - 10:55:35 PM »
Hey gang...
Not what it's called, but there seems to be a rod/bracket that helps support the heater box cool air area to the cowl plenum.. Does anyone reproduce this thing or is it something for the parts/wanted section... Apparently, it was missing from my friend's '71 Challenger R/T...

Thanks..

Would be cool if you could find a pic so we all know what it looks like and exactly what you need.   :worshippy

I believe you are referring to the j-bolt, I would call it,  with a slight crook in it that goes up in the r/h side of the fresh air plenum of the heater box.....nothing real special except it needs to be close in length & bend.

Are you talking about this, I would just make it yourself should be simple enough.

Yes, that's exactly what I'm referring to.... So, it's referred to as a "j" hook.. That makes sense......  Guess I'm going to have to place a parts/wanted ad...

Thanks...

Lunch..
I believe you have a a/c box? His non-a/c box doesn't have that bracket...

 :clueless:  I think there is a 6" or so "J" bolt that hooks on to the rim of the plellum pulling them tight. I can try and get pics if you still need 'em.
