As a continuation of my saga on getting my AK 1216 road ready, my mechanic advised that my heater core was bypassed a while back and he has taken it out of the car. Unfortunately, it is shot and not repairable. He knows the part number but has been unable to locate a new core stateside, and has contacted Hawk Cars and AC Heritage in England per my direction to source this part and is awaiting word from them due to the time difference. I am hoping that the forum can advise if Hawk and ACH are the proper source for the Mk IV heater core or if there are any other sources you know of. Also, if a member has by chance, a spare heater core that is in good shape lying about that they wish to sell, please let me know as I would be interested! Thanks to all.
My mechanic is scrambling to complete the work prior to the Monterey Historic races in a couple of weeks. I have my ticket and corral pass! The gentleman organizing the corral at the races advised yesterday that there will be 30 original AC/Shelby Cobras in the corral and a total of 175 cars there (Shelby Mustangs, continuation and replica Cobras). I willtake plenty of pictures and plan to post some after the event!
