MG MGA - Heater Plate(s) fastners
| Are the original Smith's heater warning and ID plates held in with machine screws? Thanks, Tom |

| No - they are fixed with 1/8" pop (blind) rivets. The holes in some of the new labels are (a) undersize, and (b) the wrong centre to centre spacing. So you have to open up the holes until an 1/8" pop rivet goes through them, and then check the hole spacing against those in your heater. I fitted the plates before doing the latter, and because they were wrongly spaced the labels now sit proud of the heater top at the centre of the label! Peter. |
