I have a 61 bug running 1600 engine with out heaters, I froze this year as I have moved 200 km south to Melbourne. ( How do you people survive, it’s so cold down here) any way I what exhaust system will suit fresh air heaters and a 61 bug? Do I have to modify the body work around the heater to make them fit. I will make extractors if necessary but if there is a good of the shelf item that would save time.
all you need should be the 1600 heat exchangers and the plastic pipes to connect to the body (heater channels)
Probably have to modify the rear tin on a 1600 to get the pipes set up from the fan housing to the heat exchangers.
No mods needed for the body.
I would recomend really good 2nd hand or new heat exchangers to ensure no exhaust leaks.
You ever seen the price of new heater boxes :o:o:o
Futue te ipsum!!!
Thats the price You pay to be WARM & COSY....
in a Melbourne winter...
or in a Scone Winter... too..
