Subject:      1979 heater boxes

Well VW friends, it looks like VW has done it again. It appears that the heater boxes for the 1979 Transporter are one year only. They are no longer available new (Why would somebody make replacements for a part that was only produced for eleven months??). They resemble the '72-74 boxes and can be modified to fit the '79.

However...

Does anybody know if the muffler connections on the earlier heater boxes will match up with a 1979 exhaust system? If they don't I may have to replace both heater boxes and switch to the older muffler. This would put me way over budget ('72-74' heater boxes run about $225.00 a piece, not including the time and effort involved in modifications).

Anyhow..

Does anybody have a used driver side heater box for a 1979 BUS (or aleast know where to find one).

Thanks....
