O Esteemed Listees,

The bus's blower fan has become a better noisemaker than an instrument with which to move around warm air.  So now I've got to get inside the heater box and either repair it (probably not possible) or replace it (more likely).

1.  What's the best way to access the heater box?  According to the Bentley's, which is lacking detail on this issue, I've got to crack open the heater box.  How much of the dashboard do I need to remove to get to the box?
2.  Bentley's says that once the box is opened by breaking the welds I'll need some clips to re-seal the box.  My FLAPS has no such article in stock.  Anyone know of a supplier or a good substitute method of re-sealing the box?

Thanks in advance,
Cecil
