The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Interiors 1940 KC 1/2 ton Heater questions

Well I finally have my heater vents installed. I found a set that's matches the opening I have on Ebay. I tried a number of different screw, both machine and sheet metal and found that because the holes in the dash were not tapped, I would uses the sheet metal screws as suggested by many here and found that the only size that fit the vents were a #6 1/2 inch sheet metal screw. I was concerned that the netal would be too thick to use sheet metal screws, possibly breaking them off, but I found that not to be the case. I was concerned about the screw head being too small but a #6 was perfect. The vent hose is 1-1/2 inch and made of some kind of paper. There is no indication whether the vents point to the back or down.... I'll deal with that later...

Thanks to all...
