Jon,
For some reason, I could not get a direct email to leave my outbox? So I have responded here:
As to the heater rod, perhaps these images will help. Let me know if you need something more. There is a bend in the rod. I am sure it must have been straight to begin with and then was bent as the previous owner tried to operate the valve after things were pretty much frozen in position from rust.

Brilliant, thanks Lin, I had seen the pics but not the dimensioned drawing, it all makes sense now, the wire from the valve to the flap looks bigger than 0.093" , but the holes in the trunions are the size you show, so I will get some correct size stainless wire and bend it as per you drawing.
Thanks again.
I have been studying your site re re-wiring, and I think you have a great approach also following Kriss's original spec. I will be taking the same approach myself, I hope you don't mind me copying yours and Kriss's work.
I haven't decided where to site the fuseboard yet, and need to find out if Classic Tech ship to the UK, there is nothing on the market in the UK that comes anywhere near as close to their brilliant design.
Thanks again.

so call me mad, but I like my S type better than my XJ-6. Not only is the blower/fan motor very adequate, but the windshield wipers are a lot more effective than the lame wipers in the XJ.
I have a 1964 S type Heater box if anyone is interested.
What I do not know is, what is that Green Resistor thing on the side of the heater box?

Jon, On your heater restoration you mentioned that you replaced the seals. What seals did you replace and did you fabricate your own or find a source that supplies them? The only seal I was able to locate is the seal between the firewall and the blower motor port. I have started fabricating the other seals from neoprene rubber but I would prefer getting the correct seals if they are available.

The resistor is switched from the low speed side of the fan switch, it drops the voltage across the fan to around 6V for the low speed.
