The originl Type 4 heater boxes were little more than cased steel tubes, not<br>
the cast alloy finned parts that the Type 2 bus and Type 3 got. The bus<br>
with an upright Type 1 engine was diabolically cold, even in the UK winter,<br>
but luckily there was room to wear a very thick coat. ;-)<br>

yea, thats why I took out the Thermostats and blocked off the elbows, it was<br>
when I put the T4 motor in it and when the T3 engine went back in, I just<br>
left them out. I DO get more heat, I swear! but with the 72-4 T2 heater<br>
boxes on the T4 engine its really quite toasty in there rather quickly.<br>

That's pretty surprising, but I often find that those brackets have been<br>
bent a few times by the time I get to them. It often takes a bit of work to<br>
get them back in the correct shape. I've never seen one broken, but I can<br>
imagine that one could, especially if it had been weakened by too much<br>
previous bending.<br>
<br>
With the Type 4 conversion, you don't get anything equivalent to those<br>
pipes, do you? So you really don't have any choice about what to do with the<br>
heater mixer boxes.<br>
