Hi all

I'm removing the silly heaters put in to clear the windscreen but in doing so I will need new heater hoses and period demisters (are they like rocking horse sh#t?).
This is what I'm after any help would be amazing!!!

well, as iv found with my series2 restoration, http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f6/well-needed-restoration-my-series-2a-76144.html you can get the hoses from a fish shop, that sells pond pumps etc off a roll, for a few quid, the rests gunna have to come from a breakers / ebay or auto jumble etc, you might be able to get a complete rotten bulkhead with all this fitted easier than the parts on ther own, thers not many left at all, try john richards at hinstock, Welcome to John Richards Surplus | John Richards Surplus | John Richards Surplus - A Name You Can Trust! has sorted me out with right odd things in the past
 
Doc to the rescue................:D

If you don't get sorted with the vents, if you can send me whats left of the originals, I'll make you a pair of new ones exactly the same. :D

hand carved in ebony with polished white marble vent bezzels and a brass rolled rope edging trim :eek::eek::eek:

a bit over the top but hell if its yer pride and joy do it classy :bounce::bounce:
 
For the hoses you can use those off an old Hoover, as they should just push on.

When you are refitting, put the longest hose into the manifold above the fan rather than as shown in your drawing.

Hope this helps.

Rose gold and ebony are lovely ideas I was thinking of diamonds with platinum mounts then the twinkle from the Diamonds bling the screen clean!
Oh there was not any vents the previous owner had put electric ceramic heaters in and unwired smiths heater!!!
 
In case anyone has them, I'm looking for the vents which are kind of 'U' shaped, that blow air either side of the wiper motors - to fit a '62 Series 2A. I just bought a round heater for my Landy, which was an optional extra back in '62 I believe.
