). cue project new heater.So I salvaged the matrix as thats fine and dandy.
Took measurements of the resistor wires to replace with proper resistors (apologies I cant remember the values of the std wires but they are on here in general somewhere if you use the search function
)Found a coaxial blower on Merlin motorsports site (http://www.merlinmot...oduct_info.html)
And got on it.... SLOWLY
A piece of 2*4 (well ok 47*100(ish)mm)) square edged timber came to call for making the 'spacer' to represent the matrix, then a piece to make a taper from one side of the matrix to a hole sawn piece for a hose outlet. Similar was done for the other side of the matrix but didnt include the spacer plate.
The initial idea was to vacuum form the thing but alas no where wanted to do it for less than £100+vat per unit and wanted a big order... twats. And my matey was hard to tie up with
So GRP was the next answer but being a
at the whole concept it took me a while to sort it out, and of course the weather needed to be acceptable.I used some non llllloyds approved resin, some combination mat, some tissue and 50mm Kevlar tape for the job. Oh and pikey release agent of vaseline and tin foil (tin foil liner to the grp to keep some heat in)
piccys. OBV the items need tidying up and the matrix mounting then bonding the other side.
not bad for a 'first' go at making shizzle in GRP, the Kevlar is round the outlet pipes to add a little extra strength
given the summer we had last year it will be needed
