lightweight heater assembly
Mudgey - 5/3/09 at 05:03 PM

Hey guys,

I am not sure what thread to put this in so hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.

I am here to bring to your attention a lightweight heater unit i have designed and currently sell for small kit cars, initially it was built for lotus 7 type cars but it has been used in many variety's of cars includnig cobra's, 911 specials 32 fords and even as large a vehicle as a bowler wildcat!

These units are very good for their size, and i might even go as far as saying you cant find anything smaller, cheaper, or more powerful for its size.

I have them currently listed on ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200313666533

I am also looking to find a dealer for the USA whilst the conversion rate is good for you guys and also a european distributor.

I offer refunds on this item if you are not happy, so far I have sold over 20 and have recieved fantastic feedback from the product.

If anyone is interested in a heater or distributing please get in contact with me on 07595 975 777 or drop me an email at: s_k_i_m_p_y@hotmail.com

Regards,
Mudgey

Looks pretty good... Perfect timing as I've just invested in a heater solution for my TVR. Oh well.

Just to let you know there is a trader system on this site and in order to advertise commercial products you'd need to sign up to it and pay the monthly fee (apparently!)

Shame I've just invested in a £30 oil cooler, £10 of epoxy GRP and a £40 fan....

Oh well...

Just for comparison any one know what the VW heater I have in my Fury might weigh (without me ripping it out just to weigh it!)

I guess if its already in place and working that its not a very cost effective weight saving measure.

Looks a lot faster though and probably heats better but TBH if its cold not having a roof at the moment and driving at speed most of the heat gets sucked right out anyway!

Hi, yes the air enters at the rear end of the heater and is pulled through by the fan thats situated inside the plenum chamber, this fan is rated to 190CFM and is the most powerful for its size on the market.
I will post more pictures after work.

Hi,

Dash Vent:

The angled bracket is removeable and allows the user to mount the outlet underneath the dash or anywhere they require heat.
