Just to add to this I was also looking into producing pre-cut foam sheets for the heater flaps themselves and even potentially some reflective foil for the inside of the box on the other side of the matrix to make it that little bit more efficient.

I'd certainly be interested in a pair, any idea on price? One of the projects on my list to try and graft an AC matrix into a heater box at some point... 1985 127 V8 Build Thread

I haven’t got a price yet for them as I need to crunch a few figures first and make sure there are people wanting them. Obviously the more popular they are the cheaper it’ll be so I can order more quantities. I think at this stage for the arms (they are two sizes) nuts, bolts and Washers I think it’d be around the £15 mark plus postage. It may seem quite dear but it does mean you can get in your heater box in future and also adjust it, plus it’s the cost of material I could see about producing them in mild steel but would rot and aluminium wouldn’t be strong enough for the task.
I will hopefully at some point be putting a build/refurb instruction together, but I know most defender owners it’ll be telling you how to suck eggs 😊 |

They look good, I'd certainly be interested.

If I can get around 20 people in on this I’ll have them produced. And for the first 20 I’d do it at a discounted rate. I think it’s coming out at around £15 ish at the moment but would do first 20 at lucky £13+ p&p.
If people are interested just pm me or register interest here. Turn around time from order will be around 2-3weeks. |

Well so far it’s 3 people with one set each.
All I’d say is tell one and all and if you need more than one set because you have a fleet put your name in the hat. If these prove popular and people like them I’d order more but if there are only a few people it may only be a one time thing. Also went back to the laser cutters and I would only have to have 15 people at £13 to make up the order. So literally only needing 10 more people interested 😊 |

Might be worth popping this in a for sale thread at this point? 1985 127 V8 Build Thread
