Another Quick Heater Question

[brutis72eb]

I am almost finished assembly of the heater but then I found this clip. I remember when I took the heater apart......a very very long time ago..........something came shooting out like it was spring loaded and I think it was this very clip. I cant imagine what else it could have been but I was wondering where this clip went. Thanks guys!;D

I don't recall a clip like that in my heater. It looks like a distributor cap clip to me. Maybe it just ended up in the heater box somehow.

It holds the heater core in place so it doesn't bounce around.

from the middle of the heater core (inside the box) to the chamber wall (to the left).

hth.

I second the distributor clip. I found a metal clip-on earring in mine when i disassembled it. And the rebuild kit didnt say anything about it.

 

[HotWheels]

no..it is the heater core clip.

I found one too upon disassembly of my box. I sued new gaskets, and did not need the clip--it was locked in tight!!

I'd still put it in...no support on that side...it is why it is there...

Thanks guys, I will open her back up tonight. I have to turn the screws around anyway. If I kept the screws how they were I would be staring at the threads everyday;D Oh well, if I cant figure it out I will just post a pic. Thanks again;D
