Subject:Re: Is the BA-6 still for sale?

Hi All,

I have a BA-6 FS.  Removed working from an '85, in storage
for 3 yrs. now.  I'm spring cleaning. I pulled EVERYTHING out,
so I have the 6' of wiring harness immediately onto the heater,
and I have another hugh harness that winds up into dash area,
with timer and relays/panel.  I also have all the fat tubes,
elbows/ducts etc etc for a complete install.  I was planning
on installing it under my crewcab, but doubt it really needs
that much heat.  I have a smaller BN-4 that should do fine
anyhow.

Here's the bonus, I have a second unit without the wiring, removed from
a '78 Westy, identical unit, it is intact with temp sensors, combustion
blower, glow plug etc. AND.... (if you call before midnite tonite) there
is an additional (a 3rd) combustion blower and flame sensor from another
unit. Spare parts for these are expensive, I've been hoarding for a while.

What's left on the donor vehicle, still in my possesion, is a rusty booster
blower, mounts way up above trans, and the 'gate valve/floor duct' that is
tack welded (rusted?) in under the aisle, and the flow control cables. These
are hard to remove, ie. I'd rather not bother..... but.

Offers around $200 for the entire kit would be good, you pay shipping, USPS
from Bangor Maine most likely, but I'll check with our Canada post to see
if it's as cheap, or UPS if urgent. Money order, PayPal, personal cheques
from out of country get held for 30 days at my bank, not good. Figure on
30-40lbs for the whole lot?  Bye, Tim
