2.25lt Aluminium Heater Plug

Got the old one out today with a few hack saw cuts and the cold chisel - thanks for all the help gents. I opened the access hole up enough to do it all through the passenger foot well and have made a tidy cover to go over it and look stock.

looks fine and if it ever goes again it will be a quick fix for you.


On a different note , looking at the first pic , if you have gone through the foot well , I wouldn't expect to see the starter motor in that position? Is it a petrol 2.25?
cheers,

Yes Petrol 2.25 - you're not going to tell me it's not the heater plug now are you?

All appears normal and correct to me.

Starter sighted. (needs pulling and painting and Im going to guess brush work and a bendix service)

nope - you are perfectly OK - I was thinking you were going in from in front of the passengers feet rather than to the side.
My starter motor just carked it so might be an idea to take blknight.aus advice.

It was a small hole but I accidentally knocked the back out of the plug making a spanner for it.
I have now drilled a 50mm hole in the passenger foot well to have at it and I'm thinking of expanding it to a good size access panel so I can use power tools to get the old plug out.

Does anyone know what the thread is on this plug? I'll happily put a plumbing bung in there if it's BSP but I will put the original alloy one in if not.

I know it's a bit late, but that plug is for the "Arctic Heater" when fitted.

Wow - and still a rag top. Must be hard men down there on the ice :)

There's no way in the world that the 2.25 could heat that cab, especially when the windscreens are getting the heat also.
I reckon there has to be a janitrol heater or similar on the seat box, otherwise that great fan would just be blowing cold air around.
I had one of those fan setups, I think I got it out of a sixties Buick heater many years ago, it was pretty strong.

I reckon they would have to have a radiator muff on the front and probably the only cooling would be that arctic heater thingy and i think that would work well IMHO.
