If you read yesterdays disjointed blog you'll recall that I found coolant on the passenger side floor mat. Today I took the under-dash hardura down to see what I could see and sure enough there is seepage coming from the enclosed space between the passenger compartment and the firewall. This means that the heater transfer pipes have started to leak and will need to be replaced, unfortunately the car was actually built around these pipes so it takes a fair amount of work to get them out and the new stainless steel ones back in place including removing the dash top, the glove box, and the console.
I'll be placing an order to William at SNG Barrett tomorrow.

| This is the cover for the turn signal and has cracked screw holes, old plastic is quite fragile |

I repaired it with the barrel form a ball point pin and epoxy,
hope it holds! Better than it was for sure |

| This diagram shows why his turn signal doesn't cancel, part number C25520 is missing in action. I assume it somehow interfered with the aftermarket steering wheel. Unfortunately it's a critical piece in that it holds a nut in place that keeps the steering wheel from coming off. |
Well that's it for today, I tried to make a clip like C25520 today but gave up since the replacement is available.
Cheers,
