Hi John!
Regarding the heater, I also have a '67 4/4 Competition. It employs a
round heater. The plate says it is a SMITHS model R200. Code: FHR 2404.
I've heard such items are obsolete. They do tend to keep the passenger's
knees warm! Probably made by the fine people who made the equally
functional gauges! Seriously, I've read that a round heater from the
back of old Volvo wagons can fit & work better. Other than that, know
little about such heaters & liitle info is found in any of the books I
have. I may need a core in the future.
