Hi all fairly new here starting to build up a MK2 2 door and was just wondering if anyone has heard of, or if you can get an electric heater box that doesnt need coolant flowing through it as i dont want to run heater hoses, plus im running a fairly bare interior with no carpet or console and dont want the big bulky heater box under the dash. I still want the car to pass NSW rego so as far as i know it still needs a front demister??????? its a 75 model so not sure of the regs????? any help would be great.

Thanks heaps mick.

Have a look through Phil's Cortina build, I am pretty sure he used an electric heater module.

Not mine, but might help

I have seen them used in a couple of the pommie build threads. Not sure how good they are though.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it a ADR reg that the heater has to have two speeds for defog of front sreen? I'm not quite sure.

As far as Im aware the front screen just needs to have a heated demist function

didn't some cars only come with single speed fans

It is 2 speed wipers that are required

under the SA Rally rego scheme you only need to have a method of demisting the screen. Doesnt matter if that is an electric element or a heater/fan.

Phil you have one dont you? does it work any good? anything you would do different 2nd time around?
