Sooley Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 Hi All To get my car registered I will need to run a front windscreen demister. I am looking for an aftermarket one which I believe is available but can't find it anywhere. I have heard its like a fan with a heater element in it that can be mounted to send heat to the front window when swithced on. If anyone knows where I can get one that would be great. Sooley Quote
Rod F Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 What's wrong with your factory heater and fan? Quote
mayhem Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 They are avaliable i can find out if there is one in oz im an auto elec but they are not called for much they use similar things in buses i guess you gutted it out to rally huh ..... I will look around :wink: Quote
mayhem Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 Quick i know!!! a company in melbourne do stock them W-519mm D-203mm H-129mm it weighs 4.85 kg its not electric though. The only thing is it has no ducts its a open face with grill it would be easy to set all that up but at around $400 + gst and freight you would be better off putting factory one back in cheap and easy :? a caravan mob might have 12v elec heaters i know what your chasing but a small one will be hard to get Quote
sco_aus Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 A friend of mine used 12V computer fans attached to the ducts, but im not sure about the heating side of things. Quote
Bruce Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 there is these units on ebay, not sure if they are too big though: link Quote
sco_aus Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 Not bad at all, i might even have a look for something like that for both datto and troopie. Quote
Mr Camouflage Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 I think some guys on ozdat used 12volt portable hair dryers. just wired it up to a switch and stuck the end in the tube that leeds to the vents under the dash. something like this: http://www.sailgb.com/p/12v_hair_dryer/ Quote
Sooley Posted March 30, 2007 Author Posted March 30, 2007 YEAH! great work guys I looked for an hour and couldn't find a thing They one from eBay for $149 looks good but I would still need the factory heater piping and I was trying to get an electric one. Found this, looks ok http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=018&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&viewitem=&item=280097881644&rd=1&rd=1 To get my car registered in NSW I need a front window demister and seeing as I am putting in the S15 Silvia dash, the factory unit wont fit, so something like this would work a treat. Will give it a go I think Anthony Quote
