Default 411 Heater

Hi Peter,

I looked all over the net to find this article , nothing. I wished the Bristol forum would have a technical knowledge base were all these questions, than have been asked many times, could be archived. Now the wheel has to be invented again and again....

Thomas

P.S. To replace the heating system with an aftermarket system is not what I want to to. I prefer to keep things original.

Thomas, are you talking about this Bristol forum?
There is a search function.

Let me know if you have some ideas how it could be better organised.

Try. david-billington@blueyonder.co.uk. He wrote the article and is a realy nice guy. It was published in the UK club magazine some time ago. I feel sure he would agree to have you submit it to the Forums technical section.

Thomas regarding originality the 411s didnt have factory air. I dont like the look of the aftermarket units hung under the dash therefore like Kevin I designed and fitted an intergrated unit which cannot be seen inside the cabin or under the bonet.The air comes out the dash vents or on your feet or on the screen.

The A/C system on my car looks like it was installed from new. Are you sure that you could not order an A/C system from Bristol Cars?

Thomas I am very interested in your air conditioner. The factory as I understand discouraged clients from ordering air but if you insisted they provided an under dash unit below the radio.

Could you post a picture please

Thomas thats a very neat job ,certainly the best under dash I have seen. The beauty of what kevin and I have done is that you get the air coming out of the dash vents rather than the underdash set up.

Thank you for the post
