Title: Smiths Beehive heater Post by: ACT59FC on January 11, 2016, 08:29:12 AM Below Ive attached a pic of two rubbers that attach into a Smiths heater for the ducting. Mine are in pretty poor condition. Does anyone know of a mod or someone who has made up something to replace these rubbers?

(something very important in a cold place like Canberra)
There must be a modification out there somewhere? Regards Rod. Title: Re: Smiths Beehive heater Post by: Not Happy Jan on January 11, 2016, 10:39:09 PM I think this is the correct link

Hope this helps Nick Title: Re: Smiths Beehive heater Post by: ACT59FC on January 12, 2016, 09:59:02 PM Thanks Nick, I'm only new and don't know how to look people up. I hope Ed Ho reads this post ;D

Cheers Stewy 8) Title: Re: Smiths Beehive heater Post by: Ed on January 13, 2016, 11:38:11 AM Hi guys,
Thanks for the message Stewy! I made a one off set for beehive to duct adaptors from fibreglass. You just mould the body and vent tubes. Quite a simple job. I can probably post a tutorial on here. Havent made any vents for some time but will check my molds and supplies... been a bit busy on other projects. Title: Re: Smiths Beehive heater Post by: Ed on January 13, 2016, 11:40:59 AM Will look into it.
Just away right now though. Rod tried to pm you but not sure if it sent. Only have internet via phone. Cheers Ed Title: Re: Smiths Beehive heater Post by: customFC on January 15, 2016, 10:24:41 PM Hey Ed.
If you ever knock up another set of beehive heater adaptors, I'd be interested in a pair. Regards Alex |
