Don H. Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 Its the first one http://www.t7design.co.uk/index.php/heating/heaters/3-5kw-lightweight-heater.html One of the best little heaters I have ever come across and with it being so small makes all behind dash access great, including being able to have the choke cable go straight in and not bent round the heater. Stuart. That's a pretty strong recommendation, Stuart -- much appreciated. My car doesn't have a heater installed (the original and a number of donor parts are in a box, awaiting some future decision) and the T7Design sounds like a good option.

iain Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 I took Stuart recommendation last year on this little heater as the old Smiths Unit started to leak and needs a full rebuild. The T7 is a great little heater can be used with the correct Rheostat (unlike the Clayton) and as Stuart says the room behind the dash is Palatial Iain Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuart Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 This version is slightly easier to fit as it has positionable vents for foot wells and then you only need two tubes up to the screen vents which can be easily made up with vacuum cleaner hose. http://www.t7design.co.uk/index.php/heating/heaters/3-5kw-lightweight-heater-side-vents-12v.html Stuart.

Do the original demister hoses fit, Stuart? -- Edit -- with the diameters stated from 1 1/4 to 2 inches, I'm guessing yes. The T7Design site has a few dimensions for the non-vent style.. The description for the vented style notes "The unit has up to 3 attachable outlets in sizes ranging from 1.25" up to 2", there is one either side and one up top." Edited November 5, 2016 by Don H.

iain Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 Don you are correct I re-used the original vent hoses. Iain Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Stuart. Hello Stuart Thank you for your answer. If I look at the pictures of rhino_mac, it seems that you have installed the second (with events and desmist outlets size 1,25") ? JP Sorry, i did not see your previous post, Thanks for your advices Edited November 5, 2016 by jpstudler Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ijonsson Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 The vents come up on Fleabay now and then or try the usual suspects like TR Shop/TR Bitz/TR Trader etc, the vacuum cleaner hose can be easily bought from white goods repair shops for cheap by the foot. Its mounted Rad uppermost and you would need to fabricate a couple of brackets but it gives you a huge amount of extra room behind the dash for wiring up and allows the choke cable to run straighter thus making it work easier too.Plus its cheap and well made in UK!
