       Four tiny bolts hold the heater to the underside of the cowl.  They 
are about 4 or 5 mm (8 mm wrench) and probably rusted such that at least two 
will break off.  No problem on a race car, unless the heater is required by your 
rule book.
       I race under the Improved Touring SCCA rules.  IT cars are required to 
have the heater, but it does not have to be plumbed for water.  I use mine as 
an auxiliary radiator to cool the car in summer heat.  But my car is a spider 
and I do have all the heater outlets on the driver's side taped shut.
       I have been able to spilt the heater in the car.  A long thin 
screwdriver and much manipulation finally popped the back clips off.  No way to get 
them back on in the car that I can see.
