Started February by having a look at the heater, again. One of the problems other owners have found is that the air output is quite lacking. A few have solved it by fitting a Ford Sierra motor, one owner shortened the shaft and fitted only the one "side" of the setup. An other had fabricated the housing from a Honda Civic onto the back of the unit.
I noticed that the over all lengths could be made very similar by fitting the Ford motor with the original Mini fans.

Very little progress, this month, due to weather conditions being against me, but did manage to get a few more coats of paint on the fuel tank. Also spent a little time filling the ignition switch hole on the steering column cowl.

After a few attempts I managed to acquire a Weber 45 DCOE carburettor off
ebay, will need re jetted to match the engine but should be a small improvement
on the HIF44 that's currently fitted.
