Ok I've finally got around to sorting pictures :giddy:
You may recall (from the old forum) this is what I bought about
four years ago:

Which I did this to:

which involved quite a lot of this sort of thing:

Before I got things looking a bit better:

Recently I've been up to this sort of thing:

and despite things like this happening:

and

I've still managed to get things to this point:

Sorry for the picture quality, they're all from camera phones
and I can't really get good angles and such. There are other
pics of small details available to view in the skydrive.
Drew, thought you'd like to see a picture or two of the
interior, sporting the now beautified heater:

It's not a great image, you can just make out the heater! I'll
attempt to upload a better one later. As per previous posts, you
can see just how [s]good[/s] crap the "cut to fit perfectly"
sound proof Hardura kit actually fits. It doesn't cut the noise
down either, or not by much anyway.

A better picture of the heater as promised:

I reckon the demisters will work a lot better when I track down
(or end up making) the bit that connects the hoses to the
heater!
A view through the recently refitted rear windows:

Some cunt of a previous owner snapped the knob of the end of one
of the ventilator levers, so I've [s]carefully and
skillfully[/s] bodged a setscrew on the end for now until I find
another:

Make do and mend! :haha:

Cheers mate :thumbs:
I can't say I'm 100% happy with everything, the bulkhead was a
bit bodged due to running out of gas for the mig and having to
use stick which I'm not that good with, but it'll smarten up
later. Paint is a bit rough too up close but I was never after a
concourse S2 I want something that's reasonably smart but
useable and mechanically sound.

I've found a Shitpart product that fits :giddy:
Ventilator seals - came out of a black plastic bag with a blue
label. Coated both the bulkhead recess and the seal faces with
adhesive, let them touch dry and offered up the seal and to my
amazement they both fitted perfectly >rock<
I can't imagine how they might 'fuck up' in a short time but I
dare say Britpart will have found a way!

Haha, I didn't say they 'worked', just that they 'fit' rofl
After experiencing the blue box shite Paddocks have sent me
recently, that is a 50% improvement!
Ventilators are currently residing in the garage having been
limestoned last night. Got the bracket/latch mechanism to refit
and then they can go back on. You'll probably be able to hear
the swearing when I do try to shut them Dmmy spit
:smiley-furious:

Being Britpart they will probably emit some noxious fumes
causing you to pass out and crash.

Can you take a detailed picture of the mounting of the window
heaters?
And what hose did you use?

Hi Dellie,
I'm not sure what you mean by window heaters - if you mean the
demister outlet, I'd say the use of the word 'heater' is a tad
optimistic rofl
Anyway, on Jo each one is different. This is the passenger side:

As you can see, the outlets are screwed to the windscreen frame.
The drivers side is slightly different:

There are two metal 'stalks' welded to the demister and these go
to the top rail on the bulkhead. From memory they are threaded
and have nuts on the underside of the bulkhead but when I
stripped it down I couldn't get to them so that side stayed on.
Hence the limestone instead of black! I'll get around to
painting it the same colour one of these days.
Hope this helps you. :thumbs:
