...... anywhere that has stocks of unobtainium should have some.
"can I put Corolla pistons in my Anchortron with a Hyundai head? will it do better burnouts with 40 solex's? "...... Im so needing coffee...
Re: Heater issue!
If its anything like a GA one
Youll have to either find one that works at a wreckers or adapt something else. I used a universal/generic one. Ugly, but functional.

Re: Heater issue!
Thanks for both your help tandanus and Torana68!
But just wondering Torana68 Do you know of any stores that has that sort of stuff???
I tried Ebay and Rare spares but they both seem to have nothing?
And just a quick question for you tandanus are GA's easier to get parts for than L.A Lancer's?
Cheers Guy's...........

Re: Heater issue!
..... look for wrecks or NOS on Ebay, they exist no where else, any older Mits is hard to get bits for any heater tap is impossable (I think XY Falcon is similar to GB but its priced about the same as a running GB wreck).........

Re: Heater issue!
Do you have a pic of how you set yours up ?tandanus wrote: I used a universal/generic one. Ugly, but functional
It can't be uglier that the setup in my GB .... a brass gas tap/ballvalve inserted into the heater hose .... in the engine bay!
Re: Heater issue!
Theres a pic on the old site some where but I cant find it. The setup is under the dash on the passenger side. The hose from the engine that carries the hot water to the heater comes thru the firewall, turns towards the passenger door side of the car, turns towards the rear of the car, turns towards the drivers door, is joined to a straight thru heater tap that has the pivot running vertically and the cable connection on the top, then the other end of the tap joins a hose that turns to the front of the car and enters the heater. The tap runs ACROSS the car, just to the passenger side of the heater controls. All turns are 90 degrees. You can use the existing cable. I'll look for the pic a bit harder...

Re: Heater issue!
Thanks for that T.....
I'll get a pic of mine when I get a chance - yours is neat by comparison !
I'm actually not fussed if I can't connect a cable to it (it's only in the rally car) but having the tap in the cockpit rather than the engine bay would be handy.

Re: Heater issue!
Heya stealth!
Thanks for the offer!
Unfortunatlly though I'm not really after the heater, Only because I stripped mine down and rebuilt it.
Heater core and all!
But I'm definatlly all ear's on the heater valve (tap) (if still attached to the heater)!
