Thanks 49packard for photo of heater

africapackard seems quite happy with no heater - but over here in UK once restored and on the road I'll need one to keep warm in winter and a lot of the summer !! High presipitation also gives us a lot of mist on the screen hence our term "demister" (same as your defroster)

Too bad you are in Missouri or I'd have had the one in the photo - is that your car ?

I found a truck heater in the states but $640 + extras - tubes/piping etc. then 15% VAT & import duty seemed a bit over the top - Oh and shipping

I've now found a repro/retrofit unit here in the UK with all above comes to $400 - of course all the work/time to fit the thing has to be added

The truck heater was second hand but the UK product is new and custom made

Cheers Michael
