[DeTomaso] Screens for the heater/AC fan motors

[Mike & Elizabeth]

When I took the heater/AC box from 6328 apart, there were fine-mesh metal
screens across the apertures where air flows from the bans into the box.
I'm replacing the fan unit with a 3-speed unit and have new screen material
cut but when I asked a couple of others who have done the same what they
used for the screens they replied "What screen . . . ?".  Was this only done
on later cars, or perhaps an owner mod on mine?

 

Just curious.  It makes sense from the stand point of keeping any debris
from getting into the box and fouling the core but you'd never be able to
clear the screens without pulling the dash, box and fan unit.
