Reply To: Heater/Thermostat housing

I have also fitted a Clayton Heater useing a tee from the top and bottom radiator hoses and fitted through the existing heater opening in the bulkhead. The Pics in Alistair’s post are the same way that I had my heater fitted, as I had a new piece of red carpet left over, I wrapped the hoses (in the cabin) with the carpet, held in place with fine cable ties for easy removability, just in case a jubilee clip would start leaking.  The Clayton works well in summer and winter without a thermostat, in the winter the heater stops the windshield from steaming up inside, so no need for additional tubes or electrical elements. It’s also a cheap fit,  as they come new at a fairly reasonable price or you could get a very good secondhand one, I think most land rovers had them fitted and possibly the Morris Minor?
