Mind you I don't think Mini heaters are thick on the ground in VA! My buddy in Newport News has one,but unfortunately he needs it for his '69 Mini!
I haven't quite got round to sizing things up,yet but my buddy had one in his '52 and it worked great!
I want to try and utilise the air intake on the right side of the cowl,which will involve a degree of fabrication. I don't think it'll be too much of a problem though!
Maybe someone else will 'chime' in with other suggestions?

So I would not recomend this unit for anyone living in the northern states and especially in the snow belt as i dont believe it will produce enough defrost to let you operate a daily driver in the dead of winter.

My stock heater only gets the cab lukewarm in the dead of winter, and my toes really get cold.
