<DIV class=gmail_default style="FONT-SIZE: small">Agree on both counts.
I had my heater core rodded out and sealed up a bunch of years back, and the
system went from way to little heat to just plain too little heat. And
reconditioning the blower motor couldn't hurt either. </DIV>

<DIV>Hello,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Though my Tiger 1A is tucked away for the Massachusetts winter,
thoughts of improvements/fix-ups still pass through my head. This question
is about the anemic demister/heater system.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Two components make up this system</DIV>
<DIV>1) the blower with the squirrel cage fan</DIV>
<DIV>2) the heater radiator</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The blower fan seems like it could use a redesign. SOOOO slow.
Mine is working same as it ever was. Anybody tried
upgrading this?</DIV>
<DIV>The radiator seems awfully small. Any smart-guy thoughts on
this?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Anything else I should be thinking of? Any Ideas?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Even if the heater isn't regularly used, I'd like to be able to count
on the system to defog the windshield.
<DIV> </DIV>
