I think 'fug' is fog. The original Smiths Heater stirs up the fog a bit and
doesn't do much else. I created a heater using 3/8" copper tubing coiled
around a GM squirrel cage blower as outlined in Fred Sissons Bedside Reader
book. The front cover is the original Smiths. The heater looks original and
actually gives off heat. As I've fitted foil insulation behind the firewall
rubber matting and "jet Coated" the exhaust system the cockpit gets little
heat from the engine.

Subject: 'fug' stirrer ? and Wire wheels.
Hi there,
I was wondering if anyone knew why a 'fug' stirrer heater was called a
'fug'
stirrer. Are these effective heaters? Any good alternatives for a '57 +4?
Also, Do any wire wheels or hubs from other cars like MG or Triumph fit
Morgans?
Does anyone know of a book that has photos of other early + 4' roadsters. I
am looking for cars circa 1955-58 when they went from two verticle spare
tires to one.
On another note - I made arrangements yesterday to transport my newly
acquired Morgan from Florida to Connecticut. It should be here by the end
of
the month. It's funny, not having actually seen the car myself - I feel a
bit like a participant in an arranged marriage!
Kind regards,
Jeff
