Can anyone give me a clue about how to install a blower in my heater line? I live in Colorado and winter is coming over the mountain any minute. I need to push more heat into my speedster to keep the windows from frosting over and my toes from turning blue. I woujld love to have some suggestions from those of you who have tackled and whipped this problem.

Ultimate solution is to get a used VW gas heater --- Eberspacher BN4 is one for VW Thing/Bus ('70-75ish) and would surely do the job --- newer buses have a more complicated BA4/BA6 version and bug's have a smaller BN2. There are also some made by Stewart-Warner and Walbaso. A complete one goes for about $300 --- new $1200. I've also seen plastic bilge blowers (from boating supply) used to boast air flow - they are $25 each. (914/412/Buses also had a steel fan that was mounted in the engine compartment to boast flow from the very back. Look on ebay for these solutions. Electric ceramic heaters just draw too much current for other than drefrosting a window.
