Coolant heater parts

[spentshell]

The last couple of days have been crudy outside so I have been cleaning up a coolant heater that somebody picked up for me at Gilbert.I'm on the lookout for some replacement parts that I need like the ducting,resistor and 3 way switch. If anyone can steer me in the right direction it would be much apreciated, also if somebody can post pics of the factory heater mount that would be great. Thanks Rich

try saturn surplus for the switch, I know Jay has some. As of the resistor I have no idea. Someone else have to step in for that one.

I think TNJ Murry might have the mounting plates. Or you could just make your own, I think joe young used to use the top plate and just make uprights out of small angle iron on the frame side, If you search for heater install on the site ,i think you will find pictures of joe's installation

Jatonka, has the mounting plates.

I don't know for sure (I'd have to check the TM) but that switch appears to be a standard, run-of-the-mill switch available from auto parts stores, Radio Shack and other electronic shops, even Lowe's or Home Depot. It's either an SPDT (single-pole, double-throw), or an SPST (single-pole, single-throw). It probably has a center-off position? That would make it SPDT. Anyway, it's an inexpensive switch you can get about anywhere.

And if you knew the value of the resistor, you'd be looking at about the same solution.

Good luck with it! (I'm hoping to stumble across a complete (or nearly so) coolant heater to install in my M109. If anyone runs across one... (hint, hint...)

Looks like I'm on my way to heat, thanks to some SS members. The only thing left is the ducting which looks to be a Neoprene Air Duct Hose from what I can tell.I did find a switch today but im not sure if it will work, it has 6 legs instead of three? I finished the paint today wich by the way I am out of and Know I know what a drug addict feels like when out....
