Was hoping someone had a copy of the manual pages I need, but it won't hurt me to spring for the whole book. Suspect I will need it in the long run.
I assumed I'd end up needing the spacers at some point (which I don't have), but don't know how long they are. Will the manual have that do you think?
Also, in the TF Heaters pic, is it the wide rubber band that holds the two ends of the subassemblies together? Together with the proper mounting procedure? Pretty sure they have the same output width and height.
Appreciate your time,
Jim | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | the rubber sleeve just closes the joint, the 2 sections mount individually ... the book doesn't have dimensions, but I'll look at the one here and get the length today for you, there's one longer ... and OK, for instant gratification I put up the pictures from the book, 3 start here  OK, the spacers are 9/16 except the one on the long stud, which is 1 & 3/16 Bill

To assuage my guilt, though, I will get the book.
And, I appreciate you getting me the spacer sizes too. Owe you one!
Thanks again, Bill.
