My teener project has been hijacked by something else that needs to get done, preferably by this summer.

But don't tell Speed....I told him that he'd have the first chance to laugh or otherwise critique it.

And the question here....pertains more to impending winter

The project is air-cooled...but for unstated reasons it won't be practical to get heat into the cabin via heat exchangers

And a gas heater seems to not be do-able, either......I have a good one from a VW bus, but it is just to large for fitment....

Any manufacturers of smaller gas heaters?????

Would be nice to have some heat in the cabin, would have preferred to have heat that could get to the windshield, but seem stymied re getting heat to the dash.

Anybody have any ideas re other sources of heat ....as a compromise....heated seats....or an electric heater........????

If heated seats any sources?????

Thanks

There are a couple current manufacturers that I know of: eberspacher and webasto. Both have websites: http://www.espar.com/htm/airheat.htm and http://www.webasto-thermo.com


Automotive Heater Technologies(Ark Marvis
a.k.a. Heaterman) 201-398-6363
www.hometown.aol.com/arkmarvis/heaterman.html
or email heaterman@nac.net


It seems that Ark may have retired a while ago....seems to have stopped posting on the samba around 2007.

I would suggest you go look on the samba for anyone else that may be rebuilding these heaters now, there may be a few that have decided to take this market on.
