Gday all. I'm chasing a round Smiths heater for my '64 Dormobile. I have a complete flat Smiths to swap. I'd even be happy with spare bits and bobs or what ever people have lying about?

Cheers

Glen

Gday Jerryd. It would definitely seem that way! Thanks for the links but I was looking for something a bit more original. Also I had to pick myself up off the floor when I saw what price they were asking!!!

G'day matey, where about's are you :shrug: , i think i might be able to make one up from what i have kicking about for a swop as i am not interested in selling but only because originality doesn't bother me.

Catch you later. R-Rose :tiphat: .

Gday R-Rose,

The heater isn't available anymore. I had a bit of an epiphany and decided to put the heater up on ebay. I figure if I sell it I can use the proceeds to buy a multitude of parts for the Dormy, as opposed to just another heater. I suppose you'd call it prioritising.

Thanks anyway!

Cheers

Glen

Would you consider selling some round heater parts R-Rose?

G'day matey, to be honest i don't like selling anything and prefer to swop a trinket for a trinket for one of my trucks and like i mentioned originality is not an issue with me hence the offer of a swop :whistle: .

As you found out those heaters fetch stupid money and i always feel guilty :thud: so rather than feeling guilty it's either something i would like or keep it for a spare for one of mine sorry :embarassed: .

Catch you later. R-Rose :tiphat: .

I understand completely R-Rose and generally I subscribe to the same idea. But after standing patiently in my driveway for nearly a year I think it's time my Dormy project got a cash injection. Goodness knows it won't come from the financial manager!! :shakehead:

Cheers

Glen
