Heater box teardown and rebuild

Oh that Alex! I accidentally bumped into her Youtube channel last week. I liked her "Roveralls", I wouldn't buy them second hand from her mind!!
Maybe you could message her there.

Surely you don’t call that tea try using a teapot ,loose tea rolling boiled water
 
On the Rover front I admire your enthusiasm. Can relate to space cramps .to stop sneezing wear a mask as there’s nasty bugs in car rust ,keep up the good work Yours Rob
 
I have now remove the heater, it is in a good condition, but needs overhaul because foam is bad and scrumble.

I did see that the box has screws but also pop rivets, I need to drill out otherwise I can not reach nothing. I think
this is not original, as (I have the latest production car from Belgium maybe screws are running out and did use this
pop rivets.

It is normal to have a combination of screws and pop rivets. They were assembled in the factory this way. The reasoning for the placement of the different fasteners is a mystery and discussed elsewhere on the forum.
 
Check that where the inputs from the interior move arms (pic2) the shafts are not slipping in the arms - this happened on mine and meant that the input flap did not open.

I have check all of this, I do replace the rivets because these are oxidated. I have now tear apart the heater and can start remove rust from it.

I need to find the flap foam replacement, I check internet.
 
Check your local hardware shop for foam with adhesive backing - I found quite cheap roll, ~6mm thick. Worked on the flaps well. Take pics as you dismantle. There is some on my heater here P6B S Project Car, and many other threads. Take a pic (like pic2) with the heater positioned as it is in the car - its easy to get the levers and rods in the wrong orientation, makes life very difficult.

I have take pictures to prevent the wrong assemble. I am now busy with antirust protection.

Thanks for your advice.
