UNDER SEAT HEATER GRILLE PHOTO NEEDED.

If anyone has a 1940 under-the-seat heater, I would like a photo of the grille for it. I was told it is cream-colored plastic, but I don't know what it actually looks like. I might be able to find something close in metal and coat it or have one made in plastic.

I am in the middle of redoing my regular under-dash heater core, motor and switch. I bought an under the seat heater from John Ulrich, so I'm trying to find instructions for installing it, too. I found the preliminary instructions for positioning the heater in the floor in 5-passenger cars in the Service letters, but not the instructions that come with a new heater. (I wonder why)

When I get some of the parts back from Precision Power, Auto Battery Electric and Mac's Radiator, I will post pictures of these parts and the heater harness from Harnesses Unlimited.

I have to mention that my car is finally running so reliably, no leaks after replacing oil filter canister, clock keeping perfect time, etc. Can hardly keep my hands off it.
