The Body is back at the man cave so time to start on the wiring but first the thorny issue of S heaters.

Mine had a leaky matrix and an aftermarket motor.


So I bought a heater from CBS, their Heat2 model, found a workshop and cued the music.

a bit of jigsawing later and my old heater looked like this.


Then a visit to the bender for the divertor flap,



Finaly some foam rubber and


Hey presto.

Nice one, very interesting, keep updating..I like watching someone else do the development work!

Some good stuff from CBS isnt there, PLEASE mention TVR when you speak to them they have helped source and indeed obtain stuff for us and even allowed me to evaluate a few bits a year or so ago.

It will be interesting to see how well your development works, you have probably already spent more time on design and development than TVR did!

Does the thought and development work go best to Motown or do you have your own elixir for the brain?

Hmmm, Motown....

or Blackpool Rock Music?



and the heat goes on!

Bit of a blues man myself, but its all kind of built in, I was born with a dominant engineer gene and it never turns off.
I'm more than happy to share my drawings and details of all my "developments" for anyone banging their head against the TVR brick wall.

Two Alan's both into Blues and TVR now that's a good thing. Looking, good like what you did with the heater, need to keep the toes warm in winter
