TR3A Heater change out


Recommended Posts

Hi Don

 

I have fitted a T7 design. It's a terrific piece of kit. Like you I like originality and intended to restore the leaking Smith's unit.........I probably will,but will I fit it? Not so sure. This is a compact efficient unit and not at all expensive. I also like the fact that it works with the original rheostat switch

Thanks, guys -- that's what I expected to hear.

 

Iain, did you fit the louvered-outlet version or the four-tube outlet version? I'm sort of thinking the louvered version might give more choice around directing the air.

 

And it looks like I'll plan to bring home a souvenir from 75MM in March!

By the way, during a drive out with Ben yesterday we decided you should be known as "The BFG" from now on!

 

Hah! And would you believe I have more legroom in my TR3B than any car I own?

Thanks, Iain -- lemme work on options, but there's a good chance I'll take you up on your courier services for 75MM.

 

I have my tickets and b&b in Chichester all set. I'm already counting down to one of my motoring highlights of the year.

Guy had the 4 outlet version as he piped the downward outlets but the ones I fit are the 2 pipe outlet and the 2 louvres so it gets less pipe work under there. http://www.t7design.co.uk/index.php/heating/heaters/3-5kw-lightweight-heater-side-vents-12v.html

You will have to fabricate some brackets to mount it off the dash supports but its easy enough to do.

I have a dream.

3 of these.

One for each footwell plus one for the screen. All controlled by their own switch.

(might make the radiator redundant.....)

PS Or even just one to do the screen vents only.

Would make for a lot of heater hoses though!

Better still delete the glove box and fit this baby http://www.t7design.co.uk/index.php/heating/heaters/13kw-defrost-heater.html

That`ll keep you warm!

But where would I put my sub woofer?

Don I fitted the louvred version.

T7 are in Exeter, 15 miles from me. As I will be at the 75MM I can collect and bring to Goodwood if that helps?

Iain, I can have T7 Design send the heater directly to my door for less than it would cost you in fuel to pick it up directly -- 'cause I can get it tax free. Shipping or taxes is a wash. It'll keep things simpler to get one straight from them. Thanks for the offer, though.

Don,

Great to know that our exports without Brexit or VAT are so competitive.

Hi! Just replaced mine with the same clayton unit, but it rattles and crunches when driving… no it’s not the fan. Is yours rattling as well? Pleas let me know! 
thanks! Alexander
