Hi guys,

I'm looking for a best installation of a coolant heater for the cabin.

My heat muff works o.k. down to freezing, but I'm looking at components

that might offer better cabin warming. Perhaps you Canadians have

a list of parts that better describes what you used and

how you made connections within the cabin.



Even pictures would be nice.



Thanks

Larry. Let me dig up the info on my coolant cabin heater. I can keep my 801 at 80` when it is   -20 outside. 

do not archive

This is the one I used.. Price went up alot since I bought mine but it works great and the feature of defroster vents sold me. I can deice my windscreen darn fast too. You can make a heater using a small heater core and a muffin fan but probably not get the BTU's to keep you warm enough.

I use a heater core out of a mid 80s Subaru.  It all aluminum with 3/8" 

barbed fittings, seems strong and very light.  I boxed it in with a 12v 

computer fan and piping for defrosters. It would be very difficult to 

take pictures now.  Take care, Larry, N1345L

I belly mounted a VW rad, hinged at the front so I can vary the outlet in 

flight. Made two inlets into the cabin through the floor and voila. Pic 

attached.
