Thoughts on this for rego? i think 1/4 vent windows are for demisting by the way, i wonder if it will pass?

Not cheap but also a nice looking unit

Hey Deano.i got 1 of those little round smiths type heaters if you need it,it's yours,ideal for a demister :P
A friend of mine installed one of those suction cup bar heater in his EH many years ago for RWC here in Qld and it passed . I am unsure of recent rulings in various states .Haydn
i also vote for the round style as its period correct and looks right
but the rear under seat heaters from a landcruser 60 and 75 serise (maybe more) like

Thanks for the input, if i don' t use an electric heater that i can remove i want to be able to hide it under the dash. That's why i was looking at the first option, may have just found an even smaller one, will post link if it works out.
I'm watching this thread with interest - I haven't found exactly what I want for a heater/demister as yet, either.
I used 2x12 volt hair dryers purchased from a camping supplies shop,they went under the dash and gave plenty of air and were
approved by the engineer,cost about $30 ea,the air went through the holes in the dash so worked perfect
They would have had to have some nice custom mounts!!!
Why not get a unit that does heat demise and cool altogether? I went a system from vintage air. I know your worries about size, the smallest unit is tiny (well not compared to a heat unit on its own) but you freeze in summer!
The bar heater could be put under the dash to warm the fresh air coming through the cowl vent .Haydn
And then you could use the dash as a hand warmer.
You need a fan,cold air demists your screen as soon as you switch it on,which is what you need first thing in the morning.
