Well, now that you mention it ... <G>
What I did was to bend some brackets from steel strap (perhaps 1/2" by
3/32"). One end was a tight curve to fit into the groove on the housings;
the other end stuck out at right angles for a small bolt to link them
together. I needed them because I was adding a spacer between the core &
lower housing, so the stock clamps wouldn't fit. The homebrew clamps worked
reasonably well; but the bigger fan blade didn't help much so I never put
the whole mess into a car.
Even with the various improvements I tried, the stock heater never worked
all that well for me. I've since moved to a warmer climate and just removed
the heater (makes working under the dash a whole lot easier!) but if I were
trying to upgrade today, I would just install the 'box' heater from a
Spitfire.
However Tom, if you'll give me your address, I'll send you some stock clips.
