step 1. take heater
step 2. open bin
step 3. throw heather in the bin
step 4. close bin
step 5. remain safe in the knowledge that your on the way to removing more weight and become quicker at beating chavs off the lights.

thanks for that!!! but i like to be warm in the winter months + i like the windows to clear also

you use it in the winter? isn’t it in bits on the garage floor like most other minis at this time of year??

seriously, im sure someone on here has a solution to fitting one (if you must)

simple to do fit the water pipes, place heater in position as far back as it will go and drill two small holes under the switch panel and remount. mine looks flush and fits really well and doesnt stick out.

At the rear, i used two 1cm thick tie wraps one at each side arround the bolts on the heater and through some bolts i put through the bulkhead with big washers.

Ill get pics if you want.

When i done mine i welded the old mounting brackets to the bulk head box (heater will now be mounted further into the car) then made up a bracket that goes just above the heater controls.

ive been thinking bout this also, as im using a centre consol in mine. i was going to extend the pins on the back of the heater, drop the back down then pin it through the side of the consol.
only an idea at this point tho.

'always keep a spare shot for a stray bird'

sounds like a good idear to me i also have the centre consol and was planing to try use that idear too

The heater is quite a lump so make sure that the sides of the console can hold the weight and that the console isn't going to move around too much in the car.

How fast and how expensive ...... the same question...

feebleuk I would also love to see the pictures.... It's awfully cold with out the heater....

Weld the original brackets to the back of the bulkhead box and make up a plate that screws to where the front mountings normally go and extends forward to provide new front mouting points for the heater. Quite simple but works well enough. If you have a padded dash rail then you'll probably not see it either.
