Heater box and fan.

I have been waiting for the return of my re-sleeved master cylinder and also for the Union cloth headliner from Shorten's in England.  Poor Lou told me she was waiting for a helper, as she can no longer see to thread her sewing machine needle.  I hope the parts will hurry along, although I have been taking a little vacation from the cars anyway.  I have had it happen before as I work on a car, that I lose interest and ambition for a month or two.  This hiatus lasts a variable length of time, it is one reason I try not to set a deadline for completion.  My hobby would be too much like work if I had to do it whether I want to or not.  Today I was back in the saddle, I knew there were lots of thing to do while I waited for the other parts.

I bench tested the heater fan motor, no go at first. I opened the motor and cleaned the copper contacts on the commutator. The brushes seemed to be in good contact. Upon reassembly the motor spins well.  I painted the motor housing and fan housing mounting brackets. I will try and clean the aluminum housing up with out painting it.  It is fairly corroded and dirty, but may clean up.
