    New heater coil coming

    After trying to locate a replacement heater coil for olmate, I finally have one coming form England. I have been spoilt for my 40th birthday and, thanks to a lot of people, I now have no reason to complain about the cold.

    Clayton for all your heating & air conditioning - Classic 'Circular' Heaters

    Its manufactured from new and dispatched within the next 2 weeks. How about that! When it goes with the canvas canopy bought for my series 1 (by the missus) I have done very well for the birthday indeed

    talk about a blast from the past,
    when I had my FE many years ago, I installed one of those, got it off a mates wreck.
    gee they would thaw out an iceberg, perfect for the border climate.

    How hard is it to get the other bits of the heater and how much was the new core?
    We've just bought a IIa ute and it's bitterly cold inside in cold weather, as I'm sure you guys know.
    I'm very new to Landys but the missus needs this for work and she does vine pruning on a vineyard in the middle of winter so any sort heat improvement would be a help.

    they say necessity is the mother of invention or something like that,
    most people here are inovative, as a suggestion have a look at wreckers and the like ( not sure about your area)
    some of the older japanese buses and landcruisers had similar ( maybe a squarer shape if memory serves me right) mounted on the floors under the seats
    perhaps if you find one of those you can adapt it

    only a suggestion, next time i am at the local wrekers will have a look.

    If you have plenty of spare time you could make your own heater......

    I found these instructions for repairing a Smiths round heater on a UK website.
