Before I do any  interior work I want to replace the heater box it is weak and certainly original. How had a job is this  .

Bob,

Don`t forget to see your doctor to book in for the operation on your arms - to have an extra elbow added to each. This certainly makes the replacement of the heater box much easier although finding a donor for the elbows is sometimes a challenge ;)

Hello Bob,

It is very involved. When  you get the heater lever  assembly out, your half way there. Some like to remove the right side seat to make the job easier on your body!

Personally, I would remove both seats and the steering wheel. It's not a nice job but improving access helps! Whilst its out I'd take a look at all of the ducting and repair with fibre glass where necessary, check all levers, valves, bulbs and repair as necessary and make sure you have a supply of sticky-backed felt and sponge tapes for re-assembly. I'm in the habit of taking photographs of everything as I disassemble it because I can't rely on the grey matter as much as I used to!
