Jjm,
In the past someone has recommended a fan from an older American  
car...maybe Plymouth.  And someone else has recommended using a heavier  wire 
with a 
relay. I'm betting the two of those might make a big  difference.

Hello,
 
Though my Tiger 1A is tucked away for the Massachusetts winter,  thoughts 
of improvements/fix-ups still pass through my head. This question is  about 
the anemic demister/heater system.
 
Two components make up this system
1) the blower with the squirrel cage fan
2) the heater radiator
 
The blower fan seems like it could use a redesign. SOOOO slow. Mine  is 
working same as it ever was. Anybody tried  upgrading this?
The radiator seems awfully small. Any smart-guy thoughts on this?
 
Anything else I should be thinking of? Any Ideas?
 
Even if the heater isn't regularly used, I'd like to be able to count on  
the system to defog the windshield.
