Heater Install

[meach86]

Iv looked around an cant find the right place to put this so if Generals not the right place please relocate to the right place.

My Nova didnt come with side heater vents and im trying to fit some but the is a blanking plate on the heater matix and was just wondering how this comes off so i can attach the air tunnel.

think you need to split the heater box fella

I'd just get hold of a heater box that's already been done seeings as you got the dash out.

Would i need to drain the coolant to split the heater box?

Would i get another heater matix easy though mate?

You'd need to cut the blanking plates out AFAIK.

I think its possible to take the box apart and remove them bits, otherwise your have to cut them out in situ. Dont forget your also need the little bits that like clip and screw onto the box for the side ducts to clip onto.
