Rick Posted March 8, 2007 Report Posted March 8, 2007 looks gooood just out of interest, what do people do about heating the car when they nick all the space for it just wire another heater in from a another car?
mk2 stu Posted March 8, 2007 Author Report Posted March 8, 2007 I dont know yet!! good question!!, was gonna get a mini heater box and matrix, try and modify it, I only want to connect two screen heater pipes, so should be simple enough.

v6pop Posted March 8, 2007 Report Posted March 8, 2007 Mk2stu, If you just want to demist your screen and not bother with a bulky heater then this might help if your stuck for room. You will perhaps need to modify it and fit a hose to run up to the vent holes as this one is shown on a fibreglass flat panel. NEW!! DEMIST HEATER/FAN SVA requires effective demisting. Now you can have it without the hassle of plumbing-in a heater from your engine. This little unit has an electric fan with a 168 watt 12 volt heater element. Swivel base/mounting bracket and switch. Simply mount beneath a cut out in your dash top. Perfect for sevens and all open top sportscars. Size 65mm (2 ½ in) x 193mm (7 ½ in) x 87mm (3 ½ in) PRICE £22.00 each + P & P Car Builders Solutions,Redlands, Lindridge Lane, Staplehurst, Kent TN12 0JJ, United Kingdom Tel: 01580 891309 | Fax: 01580 893733 |www.nfauto.co.uk

mk2 stu Posted March 8, 2007 Author Report Posted March 8, 2007 Nice choice of engine,And you never messed about did ya You Feckin Know That!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No messing and the XE is the only way forward i'm telling ya, funnily enough it was seeing your beast that made my mind up!!!! Keep it quiet but we're planning a turbo build on my mates soon to be purchased mk1 escy, watch this space!!!
105Speed Posted March 8, 2007 Report Posted March 8, 2007 what do people do about heating the car when they nick all the space for it ? Heated front screen and a big coat. Depends on what engine you are fitting, things like Zetecs & Duratecs can go in without messing with the bulkhead so you can keep the heater. What engine is that Stu ?
mk2 stu Posted March 9, 2007 Author Report Posted March 9, 2007 2.ol XE lump out of a calibra! got fed up trying to find a decent cossie lump and two of these turned up at once, payed £200 for both! my mate dan built one of the nicest nova's (dont laugh its seriously quick!) its an absolute work of art, he got bored of n/a power and went turbo but knows the block inside and out! At the end of the day its designed by cosworth, built like a brick out house and i'm running twin 45 webers!!! YKT
MK5 Posted March 9, 2007 Report Posted March 9, 2007 what do people do about heating the car when they nick all the space for it Wear extra clothes in the winter haven't had a working heater in my Corty for 2 years... i wear a coat and use cold air to demist her... i could fix it, but to be honest i love the way she is and don't want to change one of her little quirks
mk2 stu Posted March 9, 2007 Author Report Posted March 9, 2007 Nice work mate... No messin about!! Comin from you mate i'm flattered! seriously i fell in love with your van, I'm hoping to have it on the road for the london to brighton, give me a year to sort out finishing touches and teethin issues and i reckon i'll be contending for a place in the hallowed pages of RETRO FORD!!! The other lump is in my yard awaiting a full strip down and possibly gonna be used in our rear mounted rwd mk1 fezzie project!
