1972 Duster Build with my Daughter

Bead blasted the actuator and tested it. Just hold your finger over one of the nipples and pull/push on the rod. If the diaphragm is leaking it will not hold and slowly move to the other postions.

The hot/cold blend door does not come out unless you drill out a lot of rivets. The DMT instructions say to do it in place. It is a bear. I used my finger to get the glue where I needed it

The floor heater foam is balanced on the edge of the plastic. A bit tricky but not too bad.

Here is how that blind door turned out. Not great but functional.

All these parts are ready for the core to come and drop in. Just need to bolt it in and screw the box together, all the foam seals are glued in and ready to assemble.
