good luck from chassis number 50

the 'micro heater' one looks the goods maybe. it's tiny. i suspect that in the Pace footbox, it would fit between the outer wall and the steering column (assuming my GM throttle sensor thing can be arranged in such a way as to not clash with it). question is whether 2.2kW is worth the hassle. i don't know if that's "plenty" or "worthless" or somewhere inbetween. or for that matter, whether a heater is even worth bothering with at all...!
