[TR] TR4 Heater

Or, use the '84 K car radiator fan motor with a relay for the higher load.
Whoosh!

When I had my heater out I put a squirrel cage fan back in instead of  
the bladed fan.  That was around 11 years ago so I'd have to dig deep  
to find out where I got it but I think I may have mentioned in on the  
list at the time.  Way back machine anyone??

It did increase the flow for the de-misters and the heater to where  
you could actually feel air flowing which was at least some reward for  
the second hardest thing (removing and reinstalling the heater) I've  
ever done on my TR6.


Here's an old email from Dan Masters I did find but I'm pretty sure I  
got my SC fan from a source in the States.
