    I would sand the flat sides of the shafts down a bit.

      John,
      I just rebuilt my heater box and agree with Russ. Sanding the D shaped shaft made it easier to install.

              John - that piece of restoration is ahead of me. Glad you posted the question and the sanding and WD-40 will help. So, do I gather that these pieces can be replaced without separating the heater box? And, where did you purchase the re-build pieces from? I have been purchasing all of my restoration parts from Paragon. They have a great catalog with pictures, and their sales staff are really helpful with questions. Thanks, Ron

                  Sounds like good advice. That project is next on my list. What did you use to clean the box?

                      Ron, I know your question was posed to John, who started this thread, but just wanted to mention I also get a lot of parts from Paragon, including the heater box rebuild kit. I didn't spot this thread when it first came out but am curious how John, or anyone who's fully disassembled a midyear heater box or just driven out those shafts ever got the flappers out without bending or busting up the various parts. Thanks.

                        See about three earlier replies. He ground out the rivets and split the box - then used pop rivets when at reassembly. That is what I will do since I am not doing a points restoration - just want to get it on the road to drive.

                          John - could you do me a favor and measure location of you side emblems on the 64 convertible? I am interested in the distance of 1) fender side of door jam to edge of nearest tip of the V (right is suppose to be different than left), 2) same tip to finder line at the top, 3) bottom of V to bottom style line. It would be most appreciated.

                            I also have the Aero Rivet Tool II (advertised in Driveline), which I purchased specifically for installing the vent window channels on my convertible. I was able to install the vast majority of the rivets with that tool, but a couple rivets were just impossible to set deep in the recesses of the box, so I used pop rivets. A quality pop rivet gun makes a big difference. (They do make them.)

                            Regards, John

                              Anyone know if all C2 heater boxes are identical?
