Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Maintenance & Servicing Tatty heater box

Don't you just hate it when things start getting tatty, the filter material had rotted away completely on one side and the steel was starting to get rusty so I cleaned off the rust, treated it with Jenolite, sprayed with Hammerite satin black, fitted new filter material and retained the rear edge with a strip of stainless all fitted back with SS screws. The simple things like this give me huge satisfaction - and - NO neoprene was harmed during the work!

Yes that is the fun of a Mog. Plenty to fettle. That looks good.

That doesn’t mean it’s a box on which potatoes can be heated 😳

Hmmmm
How did you get the car to stand on it’s front end, must play havoc with the various liquids

Wooden props and some buckets

Hi, This is my first post, so please excuse lack of a picture, as a quick look at the instructions for adding a photo made it sound a bit daunting.

Nice job Simon!
I have a 2001 +8. Same problem, the filter material on both sides has started to rot and split.
Suppliers tell me that the filter material is no longer listed as a part. So what did you use to replace it?

They suggest fishtank filter material, but I assume it needs to be quite thin as it appears to be "clamped" in place by the rubber surround. They further suggest using double -sided tape to hold it in place, but i'm unsure this would hold?

Many thanks
Ashley
