This heater is ideally suited to vehicles where light-weight and compactness are of the utmost importance without sacrificing heat output. This light-weight heater uses a powerful, space saving axial fan coupled with an efficient copper heater matrix to offer heating performance normally delivered by units twice its size! This heater is in a class of its own in terms of output for size, build quality and cost. 

Heater is single speed but can be controlled with our rheostat switch 78405.

It can also be switched on/off using a standard toggle switch such as 2A9129.

This heater is perfect for mounting in early Minis that were supplied without a heater or cars which need replacements as the factory heaters have been unavailable for years. Should also work well on most Morris Minors.

  • Heat Output: 3.5kw Airflow: 190cfm (322m3/h)
  • Voltage: 12v

Question:
I have a 1968 Austin Mini pickup with a 1275. It does not have a heater unit installed. And does not appear to have had one installed. Though, the dashboard does have the vents and duct connectors in place for defrosters. I would like to purchase 24A1898-N heater, but unsure what other parts I will need for a full install. Assuming this will need a full install, what other parts will I need to order?
Answer:
You'll need some 1/2" heater hose and the bottom radiator hose that has the heater take off to hook it up the wet side. You'll also need a heater valve on the cylinder head in case it's blocked off.

Then you'll need the tubing for the demisters: https://www.minimania.com/part/ALA8033/Classic-Austin-Mini-Demister-Tubing

The other vents generally aren't used but just vented from the unit with it's louvered openings. Then you need a switch to turn it on/off or you can install the rheostat switch which will allow for slowing and pseeding up the fan motor: https://www.minimania.com/part/78405/Classic-Mini-Rheostat-Switch-With-On-off-Lucas

Here's a video showing it installed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCMYQhEyN5I&t=66s
