June 3-16, 2007 Taking apart the original heater. 
Above is the casing for the heater with some of the vent doors removed.
Also the heater core, motor, and fan after being cleaned and repainted. 
All pieces of the heater have been sand blasted and either painted or powder coated.


           
August 28, 2007 (Modified June 2014) The Arnolt heater bypass fitting new/old.  At the time of installation the
paint had started to chip off the fitting.  I went ahead and stripped the fitting down to bare copper.



                      

                       
December 2013 - June 2014  Installation of the heater.
The original Arnolt decal was added to the face of the heater.  Also the lower support bracket has been replaced.  I had to remove the battery and drill a hole in the protective battery tray.  This was to relieve pressure on the plastic from the head of the bolt which connects to the support brackets below.  The heater is now installed
in the car with the shutoff valve located directly behind.  The hoses leave the passenger compartment
through the bulkhead and enter the engine bay.  I chose to use a rubber hose on the passenger side of the car (LHD) all the way to the bypass fitting, and copper tubing on the driver's side.  I tried to use as many of the original hose clamps as possible but was forced to use modern hose clamps in a few locations.  I also decided to go with a different style of heater switch instead.  I grounded the heater and switch on the passenger side horn and got power from the A4 terminal on the regulator with an inline fuse at 7A.

and a Lucas model 100 trouble light.


       
July 11, 2013 I added the Lucas PL 700 lamps which were a period accessory added to many cars in the day.  A touch of class!


           
November, 2013 (Modified May 2014) I purchased the Moss side curtain bags. I assumed each bag would have a MG patch, however that was not the case.
I was able to purchase three more patches from Moss and sew them on.  In addition Velcro was added to
each of the bags flaps so the curtains are secured when stowed.
