Could you use something like this as a cockpit radiator? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Mocal-10-row-oil-cooler_W0QQitemZ110229151573QQihZ001QQcategoryZ100921QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem


I was thinking: plumb in to the cooling system, have a sliding louvre vent from the bonnet area to the cockpit with this behind it.

PS I'm not actually planning to do it, just counting down to knocking-off time on a Friday!

Why not??

no reason why not, but you'll get a heater matrix a lot cheaper....

That's exactly what I'm doing. In my case I'm making a little GRP box to surround the oil cooler with a centrifugal blower (from a Porsche 911 no less) as the ooomph.... The oil cooler gets hot water from the coolant circuit (controlled by a heater tap). Jobs a good'un.

Many years ago a friend had a 2 stroke DKW, it was one of the warmest cars I ever rode in, the radiator was mounted in the firewall so all the engine heat could be directed into the interior.

Including the flames?

Hard
(and presumably as fire proof)
as the Rocky Mountains those Canadian boys!

Does anyone feel like coming over and shovelling my driveway? In the 9 years I've been in this awful place (previously in a rainy place surrounded by water and mountains, off to the left of me), this is the worst year yet.
