Abstract
A heater of a vehicle includes a pair of tank units with fluid tube passes and air centers formed therebetween. The tank units include a separate tank extrusion and header. The tank extrusion comprises a generally U-shaped extrusion with recesses provided on the exterior side of the side walls of the U-shaped extrusion. A mounting flange extends from one side wall of each tank extrusion. The header includes deformable tabs which extend over the recesses to allow clinching of the header to the tank extrusion. The mounting flanges slide within notches of a plastic case in the air module for sealing and securing the heater to the module.
