Subject:Removing rear seat heater?
From:Steve Gough

Dear List,

Thanks for all the help on my ongoing project.

My wife and I are going to be traveling for several months in our '86 Westy,
which is now undergoing major work by me (with lots of help from the list
and other friends).

Space will be at a premium, and that aux. heater under the rear seat is
a real hog.  We're going to be mostly avoiding sub-freezing weather, so I'm
thinking of taking it out.  I can think of only two reasons for not doing so:

--Won't have as much heat in the back (not really a problem)
--Will lose some capacity to use it as extra radiator in an engine overheat situation

Any other thoughts?  Any problems I might cause that I'm not aware of?

Thanks very much,

Steve
