Re: [alfa] Milano heater box

["Paul Bayly" <thebaylys@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

San Diego Mike;

Here are a few pics of how I did my old 75TS (not for Digest).  The Euro 75s
have a different fan box to the US Milanos but suffer the same problems.
The 75 requires major surgery to remove the fan, Milano is easier.  Be very
careful of the resistor-pack if you go probing with a vacuum cleaner.

I covered the intake and also needed to make a new screen for the resistors.
I pulled the wiper arm/motor assembly to install the intake screen and
rustproofed while I was in the area.  My screen's a bit rough (in keeping
with the rest of the car) but if you take the time I'm certain you could do
a better job.  Just make up a template out of card until you get the
dimensions correct.

I used backing tape between screen and bodywork to reduce corrosion and
prevent rattles (two pet-hates).  Two pop rivets held it firmly in place and
it was almost invisible once installed.  If you paint the screen body-colour
or black it will hide it even better.

Are you aware of the Yahoo 75/Milano Group ?  Good resource.
