Anyone have any experience of decent alternatives to exhaust heat exchangers to heat early 911's? Mine is a 1969 car built for rallying, as a result, the heat exchangers and all heater related hoses are gone to keep weight down. All well and good, but at this time of year the car can get uncomfortably cold, particularly for the navigator, making it hard to concentrate. Also getting problems with demisting of windscreen. Any ideas that don't involve reinstating heat exchangers? The controls on the dash are still there as is the gubbins on the other side under the bonnet, but as it stands obviously only let cold air in. I believe there was a petrol powered heater made by Webasto, but it sounds a little too "bomb like" to me!

Maplin do a 12v 'ceramic' in-car heater. £9.99. ;-)

To help with a windscreen demist you could buy a heated front screen. I've heard good things about the ones from here, but haven't bought one myself yet.
