My new heater channels




Don't mean to be picky, but as this forum can be a source of information to folks generally, those are not heater channels but heater channel top plates only. heater channels look like this...

If you want to do a good job you should really replace the whole thing, and while initially daunting to cut out they are actually easier to weld in. We did both sides of the Jagerbug in one evening - well, Alex and his plasma cutter did!



Yup - fitted a pair of those nasty top covers to a car years ago - complete waste of time, complete channels are the only way to go

Ah, crap! Take it that what I'm after are expensive then? emoticon Paid £10 for the pair of covers and a mate brought them up from Devon so was this still a bargain?
Best place to get actual heater channels from as I do want this to be a good job...? emoticon
