Reply to "Wondering about Gordon's heater in this Winter weather?"

Mine pulls fresh air in from the outboard driver’s side of the nose, protected from the wheel and debris by the inner fender panel and a deflector panel I made for the bottom of the void.  The void is just to the outside of the “frunk” and has lots of protection.  All of the ducting is metal, although the tubes going from the plenum to the cockpit are aluminum and a tad soft compared to the steel tubes elsewhere, but they’re in the Frunk and everything is protected.  The duct tubes get warm to the touch - not hot.  I may crank up the heat output a bit to see how that seems, but it is nicely heating the car at low 30’s outside, even pushing warmed air through 4’ of tubing.   Sometimes it’s best to simply use something, rather than try to make it “better”.

My only gripe is that I have two heat outputs (speeds, if you will) and changing either of them is a big deal.  I’ll be looking for a different fuel pump pulse generator that is variable within the range I need and maybe use that.  THAT is how Jack Crosby can crank his heat output up and down using a dash knob.
