stupid question - I know the ADR's require a heater for demist purposes in vehicles. if you installed a heat/cool aircon system in place of the factory original heating system, would it need engineering?
Hi Diana. I've just been looking around for the for the EV2008 spec ('cause I'd forgotten) and was having a bit of trouble until I realised Vlad posted it earlier. It's 18000 BTU and flows 310cubic feet/min. As for what the spec is of the original Defender and RRC units........ :unsure:, anyone?Quote:

Formula King does have a range of heat/cool evaporator units but as heat wasn't necessary for me, I was able to have a smaller unit with the same cooling capacity as a combined one.Quote:

Firstly, the main bracket in place with four M6 stainless bolts:

Next up the rear bracket which mounts to inner roof channel needed to be trimmed down and bent to shape. The cut end was touched up with some primer to seal it up.

Then, the magic moment.....
Evaporator mounted:

The next job will be to extend the wiring from the front mounted remote as presently it's around 750mm short.

looking forward to the rest of the install, I'll be doing very similar down the track no doubt!Quote:

All in keeping with the subject Rick! This is what it's all about - ideas, knowledge sharing, experience, opinions, etc. Thanks for the pics :).Quote:

Hi All,

The one Rainman is using is 18000 BTUs and 310 (cubic?)F/minute
The one Goingbush is using is 22500 BTU, 390 cfm.
