That's the sort of thing I'm looking for. I'll see if I can track down data on pipe sizes.

I had the floor up the other day - was leaning in through the passenger door with the motor running - suddenly noticed it was getting a bit warm! I'd like to think you could get some heat from the exhaust into the cab somehow - (other than removing the floor) but I guess any potential leak would be hazardous. The pipe from the radiator sounds interesting. How well does the heat exchange dissipate the heat I wonder - the plumbing doesn't look so bad - I wonder what difference if you just had the core and the fan?

You could probably rig something up with a heater matrix, fan & motor from a Series III.
Here is what looks like a home made job in my Series I. No nameplate, square matrix in the back. Judging by all the other mods on this vehicle home made is a distinct possibility unless someone recognises the manufacturer ? Previous owner has used silicone to help hold the fan motor in position !

I have two made by Toa Denso Co (Type TDH 12), both were removed from Series II's. Smaller diameter than the Smiths.
One has a Date of '48 S' whether that's a code or the year I don't know

Finally a Smiths. Matrix OK but needs some de-rusting and new clips made for the doors.

I guess that Toa Denso was part of Nippon Denso ? Need to do some research on that though.

Jeff,
That was the only part that looked as though it might be mass produced.
It puts out a fair amount of heat but doesn't have demister connections.
I also need to replace the water on/off valve on the block because the lever has been lost and it's stuck in the open position, it's windows & vents open in the summer.......
