I'd have two questions:

What is the origin of the heater, and what is the origin of the hole?

Although I already have a BA6, so I'm not in the market, as a buyer I
would be immediately suspicious of a man-made hole drilled through the
manufacturing/registration plate. This would be the most prevalent way a
smart (or mandated) VW repair facility would mark/make a unit as
defunct, and unsale-able without going to the trouble of crushing it.

Subject: BA-6 Question

Hey folks,

I have a BA-6 heater that I will be offering up for
sale.  Its is great shape throughout, and I have the
complete heater and all the gadgets that are needed.
I also have the switch and relay under the dash.

The question though relates to its usability.  A hole
has been punched into the heater, in the middle of the
BA-6 label that is riveted into it.  The hole is about
3/4 inch in diameter.  Since this is only the outer
shell (and because the label was riveted here), am I
corret in assuming that the heater itself is fine, and
the owner can plug the hole with another plate riveted
over the hole?

By the way, this heater came out of an 82 Vanagon.

Any insight by the experts would be appreciated.
Thanx!

Z
