Hot Air Blowers under steering wheel?

[angel4]

Hi All

Its to cold to go outside and look so I am just thinking out loud :-)

Could the blowers under the steering wheel that are always cold be modified
to be fed from the dashboard unit with hot air?

I'm so glad you have asked that,as i was thinking of posting the same question. I'll add a further question to yours.... Can you turn em off and just have air going to the screen and foot well?As i don't want freezing air strait into my face. Yes i know you are all going to say they revolve in the socket,But they are a tight fit,and i think if i do push them round i might not get them back.Just had another thought.....Two corks on a string

The problem with adding another outlet is the pathetic amount of air being pushed round too many sharp bends and pipework.The duct in my old T350t wasnt even connected past the wheel !!The centre outlet in tuscan can be turned inside out, it is tight but u can pull it right out if stuck.
The other issue I had in my Tam was hot air didnt even reach the radio, this was a split in the duct joint as in comes in above the passenger footwell.Gaffer tape and evostick to the rescue .

Ahhhhh.That takes me back to my T350c. I had broken/unstuck pipes in several places. Did you ever get the strange steaming up effect on the windscreen, even on the hottest of days.Which was a job to even wipe off.Never did find out what caused it.
