Heaters
 
Hey there everyone.
I have another question, what type of heaters are you guys useing?
I have the chance to buy a heater assy from a mini/moke that is made by smiths and fairly compact.
I would like to have pipes to the windscreen and also outlets possably to footwells, I know everyone says it is pretty warm in the wells anyway but damn it is getting cold out here (was 3 degrees in my backyard sunday morning)

On another note I had to giggle to myself yesterday when a neighbour asked me if the subaru with the loud turbo and blow off valve was annoying me because it was so loud.
I pointed at my car and said the subaru will seem quiet compared to that when it is finished.

I used the vintage air COMPACT heater/demister

It has two hose connectors for the defrost vents as well as a trapdoor that opens to let hot air into the interior. Comes with all controls etc.

Go to heaters from the index and you'll find 2 heater/demisters.

I used the one on the bottom of the page because it is more compact

Got the regulatory demisters but no heater.

I found the foot wells generate enough heat to the point where I insulated them prior to having the upholstery work done.

Even driving when 10 degrees outside, my lower half is warm enough. Top half - then that's another question.

I suppose us QLD'ers have some advantages other the rest of Oz.

Les - How come your even considering a heater????

Well Pete..It's like this ... I could say that if ever I sell the thing then I didn't wanna restrict my potential buyers. .In other words..I wanted it Victoria friendly. ;)

I'm not gonna say that tho cuz I promised to be nice to our southern cousins. :rolleyes:

But...the truth is... All those with RMC's have reported that they dont suffer from warm footboxes. Furthermore, Like you, I have insulated my footboxes and also have heat shields. so I thought....why not just warm the interior too. :D :D

Hey....Isn't the weather just glorious this time of year? :LOL: :LOL:
