Did 914's and buses have gasoline heaters and if so where were they and how did they work? Love to see a picture if anyone has one. |

Has anyone been successful with an electric heater? Poking around recently, I found this:
http://www.sportsimportsltd.com/usa-made-1...ted-heater.html It is probably to much of a load for the original 914 alternator, but for those with late -6 conversions would it be feasible? It seems compact enough to fit behind the fuel tank. |

It seems compact enough to fit behind the fuel tank. Yeah, I have always wanted to figure out if I could out electric heat in. Seems like this unit described here wants 40 AMPS (or a 50 AMP unit is also available) so you are going to need a higher output alternator. Of course, higher output alternator will take away some HP from your rear wheels. Trade-offs.... I think you can get the stock alternator redone to 90 AMPS or possibly a VW Bus alternator can be used... |
