Goes by the inside diameter, so a 5/8 diameter shoulder, or 5/8 bolt or rod will do it. I was on the fence whether to remove my rear heater after it leaked, but I want the room, don't use the van in winter and didn't want to spend the $100.00 or so to make it all right (new valve, core, etc) I plan to take the individual wires out of the 4-wire connector, push them through the floor and then seal them with heat shrink tubing or similar. It's posibble to extend the wiring to something like a closet light or interior light, or water pump if I put a water tank in (I have a weekender) that I can shut off from using the rear blower control on the dash. On my weekender, the panel under the froont of the seat tilts backward - I might replace this with a straight up and down wood one to gain some more rear room. With a family of 4, there is not enough storage space! John -------------- Original message -------------- From: Taeke <taeke.t@gmail.com> > Batteries are going where the core is so....
