Delaney Gallay heater box
« on: December 26, 2017, 08:44:08 »
Good morning to everybody on the forum and I hope you all had a merry Christmas.
I have realised upon stripping down my AC Ace that I am missing a few parts most of which have been found, however there is no heater box and I wondered if they were a factory option or standard. If they were standard can anybody post some photos of what I need to look for , or even better if you can point me in the direction of one that may be for sale.
Thanks in advance for any information.

Well that wasn’t the most overwhelming response.
Surely someone must be able to post some photos of the heater box.
At least from that point I will know what I am looking for.
Happy New Year to one and all and a bottle of nice French red from my Cave in Paris
for the first person who can locate one or is just helpful.
Cheers Luke

I am not an Ace/Aceca person , but I think it might be a clayton heater for which they are remade and originals turn up on ebay from time to time.

I may be wrong and someone better informed may clarify , but this (Clayton) is what my Bristol 400 is fitted with from factory.

Holden do a range:

That certainly looks similar to the one which came (unfitted) with my second Ace. I never did fit it.

I believe they were an extra-cost item when new.

I have been led to believe that the box was a square variety made by Delaney gallay.
Any thoughts ?

.

The Heater was a optional  extra as were demister vents.
Please check out photo on page 43 0f  Rinsey Mills Book,  " Original AC Ace & Cobra " shows a heater box under the dashboard sitting on the Tunnel.
 Name plate  clearly shows   Delaney Gallay Ltd    "  DELANAIR "  London England.

Not sure if this helps
