Loose rattling heater core solution
Hi Guys,
Just noticed that my 68's heater core is loose and occasionally rattles inside the heater core box. When I checked my dad's 70, I noticed that his had some type of padding inside the heater core box, to keep the heater core from bouncing around. Checked all the catalogs and searched the site, but haven't found any info on this. Any thoughts, soultions, or input? Thanks! |

Re: Loose rattling heater core solution
It should have a metal strap top and bottom that keep it tight in the box. As far as padding mine never had any

I'd get some thick rubber cushioning strips and cut them to fit. Problem solved.
