Default Red Head manifold heater for Model A

I have a Red Head manifold heater for a Model A Ford (see first picture).

Does anyone have one on their car?

I need the Red Head heater door (see picture 2).

Does anyone have a Red Head heater door for sale?

Thanks, Neil Mylar

Hi John,
Yes, I am still looking.
One of these days I might get lucky and find an original door.
You are very fortunate to have both the heater and the door.
Neil

I have a couple of oddball doors with no name on them. I would love to find the correct door for my Autolite heater.

Hello everyone. Looking for a "Red Head" brand Model A exhaust heater manifold. I have just the cover. Apparently there were two versions, one for a plain manifold and one for a waffle type, bolted on from the top. It would be very similar to the more common "Auto-Lite" waffle type manifold. The Red Head "waffle" sections are a little longer and the two top bolt holes for the cover are 9 inches apart. Any photos would be a great help. Thanks

Buddy, hello. Does your Red Head heater cover bolt on from the top, like the Auto-Lite "waffle type" manifold? Or does it fit on a standard smooth top manifold? Thanks, Mark

I'll have to dig it out.
I never installed it.
I found a door, but the details on it are very worn.
I have an identical plain door. I wish I could find someone to etch the details on it.
