      Heater

      I had a leak in my Kodiak and called Rovers North. A replacement core came the next day. Once installed, the heat output improved a lot!

      Also important to heat output is a correctly-functioning radiator cap and a radiator filled to the correct height of coolant. For New England weather, I've learned that the door seals and window tracks need to be up tight in order for any heater to work well.

      BTW, I now run a Rovers North Mansfield heater which keeps the II-A comfortably warm for winter weather.

          Will do as soon as I get home. I don't play solitare at work. I do useful things.

            I have an original, clean Mk.IV core somewhere. I'll try to dig it out this weekend and check if the local shop can ID a replacement...

              Finally remembered. Kodiak M4 core measures 111/2"X6"X21/2". Sorry for the delay.
