Let me try this again: I'm using Ed Klepeis' heater core. He makes a really nice unit that includes the core and fan. You just need to make an air box and direct the outlet to a scat tube. I also installed a water contrtol valve that I got from Summit Racing. I actuate the shut-off valve with a non-mac servo (http://www.servocity.com/html/ servos___accessories.html) and a servo-controller from Eric Jones (http://www.periheliondesign.com/moreproducts.htm - scroll to bottom of page). I also put in a flapper (Aircraft Spruce) on the hot air output that will change the direction of the hot air from my feet to a defrost outlet in my glareshield. This is also controlled with one of Eric Jones' controllers and a servo. So, my heater electrical system consists of a fan switch (provided by Ed Klepeis), and two servo controllers. I don't have any pictures, but if it would help, I can take some.
