FAO those running heated front screens...

...do I need to run a blower in the car or can I ditch all the standard set up and not freeze my balls off?

cheers

@BIGASH should be able to answer this.

A heated screen isn't going to keep the car warm by a long way. If your not wanting to freeze your balls you have 3 options..

-heated seat
-keep your blowers
-put more clothing on (that's my plan anyway)

I put the blower back in mine when I had a heated screen as it was bloody baltic.

I'd love to put the heater back in but I have a stupid dash bar welded in instead

Be thoughtful about it. Put a heater back in (just move it a little bit & use ducting surely? Put it on the floor for race car weight distribution if you like ) but run a few lengths of small ducting to key areas rather than heating up empty space.

Quite a few endurance cars at Le Man etc have started to run air conditioning & have been blowing air directly into the back of the seat via ducts, onto the pedal box, another one onto the steering wheel grip etc.

if you wanted something a bit trick and really lightweight run a couple of laptop fans ducting the warm air from area around the manifold primaries

Thanks for replys and thoughts

Check out kit car parts suppliers they had some options last time I looked.
