Anyone know of a way to add electric heat and defrost? I have no heat exchangers and instead of adding them Id like to come up with a way to add some heat with electric heaters. The car will not be driven when it is very cold out.

they have a little 12vt dc heater/blower thing at harbor freight for like $12. I just bought one for a guy at work who's heater blowers aren't working. He's been able to park next to his garage lately so he hasn't needed to try it. It's very small and we're hoping it will work for defroster. Just sits on the dash. Goofy looking little thing. Must be FAST though... it's yellow.

QUOTE(HeloMech @ Jun 28 2008, 05:37 PM)  they have a little 12vt dc heater/blower thing at harbor freight for like $12. The company I work for import those heaters. As technical manager, I have to test them. The phrase "totally useless" adequately describes them. The only real solution is to get SSI heat exchangers and rebuild the factory system. |
