Subject:      Installing heater fan motor on 86 syncro
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

Wow, I'm in Albany, NY and I received my parts in one day time with free shipping from euro parts/parts direct.

It seems the foam from where the old heater fan sat is worn out. I'll cut and stick some new foam around the many curves and then set the new heater in (Mele). Is it ok to hook up the wires to the fan and switch, hook the battery up and try it out on all three speeds even though so much more is unplugged from the dash and speedo?

I've seen people mentioning to put foam on the vent flaps. Seems it was there before but mine must have disappeared over the years. What should be the thickness of the foam be and does it go on the hole flap?

Assembling the two piece heater plastic. Should I reglue it and put the 4 clips back on, or just the 4 clips or/and use machine screws around the perimeter?

Last but not least, did someone mention glueing some kind of cap to the back of the motor to keep dust from getting in?

Hopefully I'll be getting at least the new master cylinder in tommorow and asseble the heater unit for test and installation on Thursday.

Once again, THANK YOU!

Andy
