Heater

I think I could make this work if I could find a 6v fan motor. Are there any sources for one about this size?
 
You can use a 6V to 12V inverter and jump up the power to it. They have them from Brattons or google either a 6 V motor or the aforementioned inverter.
 
I drove to a classic car meeting at the beginning of April last year, and it was 3-4 degrees Celsius here in Berlin. Not exactly the ideal temperature for a ride in a Tudor. So I decided to retrofit a heater. The choice fell on a 6V Bosch Wagenheizer from 1935. A hot water heater with a fan.

The heating is now fully installed and works great! When I take the Ford out of the garage and drive 500m, warm air is already coming out of the fan! The car heater has another advantage. It has two hose connections for the warm air.
I am currently working on developing a vent that sits behind the dash rail and blows the warm air against the windshield. A wooden model that has been created has already been read in with the 3D scanner in order to process it on the computer. When that's done, the whole thing goes into 3D printing.
It should then be a solution that is optically invisible, significantly increases the utility of the car and increases safety.

DRG-ler,

That’s an interesting design. As much interest as there is for adding a heater to a Model A, I’m surprised that no vendor has apparently entered the market to offer a new unit that looks reasonably period correct.

Thanks for sharing.

DRG-ler,

Thanks, it looks bigger than that. I guess there's not much chance of finding one of those on this side of the pond .
 
I guess you are right. But I also bought my Signal Stat Arrow Turn Signal in the US, so what's the problem? But you have to pay attention to the price! I bought my heater for 100 € and then refurbished it. Were again 50 € ... But there are also people who charge over 800 € for the device! Way too expensive...

I also have to admit that I have the 12V device and operate it with 6V operating voltage and a 6V step switch. The fan motor runs a little slower and the motor can stop at the lowest level. I am currently looking for the 6V motor that goes with it, which I would then exchange. But basically the system works first.
