BruceBowker Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 Toying with the idea of removing the entire heater setup from my Caterham Seven. Any difficulties anyone can see? Bruce
11Budlite Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 Bruce - I removed the heater on my Birkin a while back and use a Gerbing heated jacket and controller to keep me toasty on those days when it's in the 20's. I really can't believe how well it works! The engine compartment has a lot more room to play with and access to the slave cylinder and gearbox top cover is much improved.
BruceBowker Posted August 13, 2010 Author Posted August 13, 2010 Bruce - thank you for your input. I doubt I will drive much below 70 degrees but the jacket idea is great. Bruce
Croc Posted August 13, 2010 Posted August 13, 2010 Are you moving the Seven to Bonaire? No heater would be needed there!
Boxologist Posted August 13, 2010 Posted August 13, 2010 Bruce, your not used to teh 7 on the island. U should move me instead. I'll take only 1/2 the garage!
BruceBowker Posted August 13, 2010 Author Posted August 13, 2010 Not moving it. Just never drive the car in Winter or very cold weather. Just a thought.
solder_guy Posted August 13, 2010 Posted August 13, 2010 some have suggested to keep a hose running between the two connections to keep sludge from building up in the cooling lines there.
BruceBowker Posted August 13, 2010 Author Posted August 13, 2010 Good point. I'll keep that in mind. Thanks Bruce
