Heater Core Arrives

Some 4000 km from Vancouver to here, in a very short time! The replacement heater core for the Kodiak arrived today from Falcon Enterprises, and looks good. Of course, haven't put it to the test yet, but it looks in good shape, and must be sealed as there was a slight hiss of a pressure differential when one of the blue tube caps was prised off. The core itself has a sticker attached from Vista-Pro Automotive LLC, and so it's fair to assume the part was made by them.

Did a test fit, and no problem there, unsurprisingly. Now to put the Kodiak back together and re-install the unit.

Below: the new core has the blue tube caps. Very similar overall to the original core.
