[Mgs] Heater Core Removal Q - MGB

[Barrie Robinson]

Come on chaps!   Removing the heater is easy but putting it back can 
be trying UNLESS you enlarge the hole into which the cable goes, then 
it is not too bad   One thing however, has not been mentioned and 
that is adjusting the flap cables !   You have to do this through 
that tiny hole while "inside" the cockpit.  You have to slacken off 
the nut, pull the flap to fully closed and then tighten.   But if you 
don't adjust the cable you will only get a very small hot air leak - 
which is no big deal.
