Likewise for the fan, I presume an on/off switch goes somewhere ? Any clues where the standard location for that is too ?
Thanks

John,
As it was an accessory I'm not sure there was a 'standard position'.
Maybe google pictures of UK Series IIa's with Smiths heaters fitted.
There is a cable operated heater valve that was fitted in the UK (not sure when this was introduced) the Series III in Australia had a different valve (fitted to Fords in a slightly different configuration). Typically in the Series II/IIa era it would probably have been a manual valve on the block.
