How to heat seats not Porsche...., Don't let Speed Metal Army read this Options

[porbmw]

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

I am in the same predicament! I have purchased a seat heater kit off EBay as well but it's not installed yet. I really need real heat in the car. I have a big stroker being built and heater boxes kind of defeat the purpose of a performance motor. My girlfriend needs heat and I'm thinking of a gas heater. I've found Webasto's for about $1100 that run on gasoline. Most of the heaters sold in the US are diesel and designed for tractor trailer trucks or boats. Any of these are are going to take some fabrication to install. I've see a picture of a factory install from Europe and it was mounted in the front trunk on the drivers side inner fender. So, I know it can be done. Just time and lots of $$$!
