Not come across one yet....but on my travels, from the days when heaters were very much add-on accessories for the masses, this was a simple and ingenious device,CitroJim wrote: I've had a look for images but can't find any. I bet you can Neil![]()
Regards NeilIf Mr or Mrs Motorist had a smaller car, where under-dash space was at a premium, then some of the larger heater units discussed above might not have been an option. However not all hope was lost, as the "Heat-A-Car" unit was a very different design to the norm. Instead of a bulky heater radiator and motor unit hung beneath the dash, this alternative featured a 24" tube, with a clamp at one end that fitted to the car's steering column, and a bracket at the other that screwed to the facia. No motor was involved, you simply plumbed it into the car's cooling system and it enabled hot water to flow along the tube, radiating heat as it did so. Handy for drying damp gloves on too I imagine, although doing so would soon steam the windows up.....

My first car, a 1935 Rover 10, had rotary-arm shock absorbers, oil-filled. Luvax brand, they were stiffness-adjustable.
