Awesome find at Aberdeen!

I managed to find an NOS winterization kit for the M422A1 at Aberdeen. The kit includes: all the ductwork, heater exhaust pipe, fuel lines, electrical lines, heater switch box, heater box, canvas doors, canvas side curtains, door frames, and templates for locating the heater and ducts. Unfortunately, the heater and canvas top were missing. Not a problem though, I have complete canvas and doors on my Mite so I will replace that with the NOS canvas in the kit. I also was lucky enough to pick up a heater last year at a yard sale.

I don't know what the kit normally sells for but the guy I bought it from had a $600 price on it. Needless to say, I got it for much less.

Yippee! Now I can drive my Mite in the winter without bundling up!

(Pictures below are the original canvas on the Mite from last year)

Hope for you the stuff is in working od´rder, the seals are not dryed out and you realy can use it!
To my expreance for the gas stuff the seals fall leaky in the heater and must be fully replaced by new ones.
Just for your safety!

It was good to meet you.
