I got overenthusiastic with the former Oregon Boat Anchor today.=20

There was a bit of rust showing around the heater so after much =
sweating, a
few cramps in the arms and some judiciously chosen Anglo-Saxon out it =
came.
Fortunately the rust was mostly confined to a small hole in the heater =
box
with a little bit of surface rust underneath.=20

Despite best efforts to preserve the insulation on the firewall and =
around
the heater it preferred to come out in many, many, many small pieces =
mixed
with dust so it's going to have to be replaced.

Does anyone have any specific product recommendations? Something that's
available in California, doesn't soak up moisture and looks reasonably
original would be nice - shiny aluminium firewalls won't look quite =
right on
a Rover (unless it's a Tomcat.)

What about the seals for the connections between heater and body and =
inside
the heater? I guess I may have to be creative with weather stripping if =
all
else fails - I don't see these listed on Scott's web site or from =
Wadham's
