Here are the pics of the prototype. If there is any interest, this may be one of my next produts.
It hets pretty cold here in Michigan, its 26F right now and I do need a heater. I had a heater under my dash and I got tired of looking at it so I came up with this. It uses the stuck heat/fan controls on the dash. The fan works in the usual way and the red heat director lever actuates the water control valve to control the temp of the heat exchanger.

The heat exchanger is new. It will use any liquid to heat it, so oil coild be used as well as coolant.
I have not had a chance to test it since my ignition cylinder broke and I still have the tank out to put my swaybar on. I should have it running and tested this weekend. The theory is sound, so it should work. I think the Kit would consist of the heat exchanger in the air box, and the coolant control valve with optional j-pipe. I would leave threaded fittings on the heat so that the customer could go to the hardware store and get the proper hose barbs for their particular size coolant lines. I know Renegade's steup is $395, I plan on being less than half. Mark |
