Title: Advice needed to change spyder heater core. Post by: droptop on March 31, 2012, 11:20:16 AM I am catching up with some overdue work on my spyder and need to change the heater core.
I looked in the Haynes manual, but the scant instructions seem to have more to do with an S2/ facelift model than my 1978 pre-facelift one. I currently have the seats and centre console out but can't see how to start removing the heater aside from three seized philips-head screws along the front lower edge which are currently soaking in WD40. The coolant hoses have been disconnected as I had to bypass the leaking core last year, so I just need to swap it and finish cleaning the interior and fit the s2 front seats while I get mine reupholstered. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Title: Re: Advice needed to change spyder heater core.

Thanks stuart. |
