[Healeys] Thanks and another request

[Michael Salter]

The BN1/2 heater core is a difficult one to repair because of its type of
construction.  Not to say that it can't be done, but not easily.
New cores are available from A H Spares for the equivalent of $US425 +
shipping. Certainly way less than MM.
