Subject: [Healeys] comfort addition to Healeys
I will risk being ridiculed by bringing up an addition my wife asked for in
our restoration of the BJ8. We had the opportunity to go over the Lake Tahoe
pass to a Jensen car meet in Carson City. During the meet, they had a nice
ride back up to Tahoe in the early evening. As we hit the 8000 ft level, we
had the thought to stop and turn on the heater valve. During our restoration,
MOSS was giving away seat heaters if you bought enough merchandise. I have
one of these in my truck and hate it. It gets much too hot. My wife on the
other had likes them. She asked for seat heaters when we were doing the
interior and since I could get them for "free", we did the installation. As
we ascended Tahoe, we hit the switch and it is a low heat in both the seat
back and the bottom of the seat. It was just right for the drive with the top
still down. Tahoe is very pretty and the summer crowds were gone. We
dropped down to Reno and attended the car museum there for the evening. Very
nice batch of cars.
So if you are working on seats: you can't see the install unless you look
behind the seats and see the black box on the wall. You will have to install
some wire and fuse but that can be added so it is not visible either.
