hello....

Just wondering if anybody knows of a 12 volt heater that i can put into an L bug.... either that or even just a 12 volt heater element that i can put near the air blower in the dash.... (im not sure if these things exist or if it can be done, thats why im asking....) also, i know it doesnt get all that cold here, but im just looking at my options.

thanks

Con, this has been discussed before, but possibly on the 'old' forum.

I think what came out of it basically was that it can be done, and has been done. There are heaters available for the purpose, but a 12V hair drier does the same thing.

Basically though, they are a huge strain on your electrical system and (I believe) that you are better off by far to repair/refit the stock heating system if at all possible.

Put a flange kit on your exhaust and all your problems go away

Don't stop there Blue, what is this flange kit you speak of!

yeah the stock generator only produces about 30Amps of current at 12v which is 360 watts... i just looked at my hairdryer and it read 1500 watts...

the stock heater system is very effective, even with donut seals, although they can be pesky at times.
