405 Heater box area - paint finish or felt lined ?
I’m busy removing pieces of old felt and glue from the scuttle area where the Smiths heater box goes. I’m not sure that the felt is original - some areas are paint finish only and one painted section still has the tape over the hole for the radio to amp cables.
Do you know whether the 405 came with felt in this area, or just a paint finish ? Thanks Joe |
Definitely go with felt - it stops tools etc stored in the compartments rattling

Joe,
My 400 (not 405)has a heater and felt in that area with a circular cut out in felt. Think my heaters a spiral wound Clayton tho. |

Hi Joe F
Our 405 has felt, its been in the family since 1964 so fair to say its original. Cheers Peter F |
Thanks for the replies. I'll go with the felt, then.
