Vintage air - compact heater/demister.

Available from TCR in Melbourne.

http://www.vintageair.com/

Go to catalogue - then go to page 27 of the catalogue.

Cheers

Hey, don't knock the 12v hairdryer. Still going strong in the Harrison after about 3 years. A couple of years ago heading to Nationals I had that 12v hairdryer running on max for half the day while driving through a torrential down pour.

You could also ask Don at Snake Bite. He stocks one that is slightly more compact than the one above.

That first wife is still hanging on.

She must be a gluten for punishment

Stiff (may I call you that?)

The reason why Uncle Les is on the ball with heaters is that he causes a fair bit of it on this Site.

Good to see him back

Don't tell him.

Default Heater

HI Paul,
I am currently installing this heater, I bought from the US.

I have only half installed it at the moment so I cannot say how it works yet.

I found a few on Ebay the other day. Just search for heaters (under Cars etc). Unsure how to paste the link but there was a four outlet one for $75 that looked all right (search for heater hotrod and it should come up) By the way, while we're all here, how do I paste an Ebay Item link?...

I got my heater from Finishline in Florida. Its got 2 side ports for venting to the windscreen demisters and 3 metal flapes that open manually on the front and both sides for heat to the cabin. According to the instructions a shutof valve isnt required so the water circulates continuously. Its got a 2 speed fan. Theres a couple of pictures it my gallery.

Regards.

Anyone had experience with the Smiths beehive style heater?

I am searching for a heater too but a workmate is pulling his Smiths heater out of his car shortly and I just want to know if these heaters are suitable for the cobra.

Can anybody advise?

Ciao

Strange I didn't remember your heater after you kindly took me for a spin in you car bazza but I did take a pic of it having just reviewed my pics.

I haven't yet seen my mate's heater but am presuming they are the same however he did say you could open the various flaps for air direction control by a couple of pull cables, does yours do the same?

What would one of these beasties in good condition be worth?

Steve
