does anyone have pictures of a 6 volt heater in their, or anyones 55-earlier beetle? I have all my exhaust tubes and all but someone took out the heater, i was just wondering to see how it was hooked up, or at least see how they postitioned it. It looks as though it went sideways instead of straight on, i dunno though. Pics would help, thanks

The heaters never were electric, On a car that early the air that was expelled from your engine cooling fan would be passed through a series of ducts into the cabin of your car.

sorry, i meant to say 6 volt Gas eberspacher gas heater.....I knew old dubs never came with factory heat except for the heater boxes. I have exhuast hoses and things like that in my trunk area near my gas tank, cause someone removed it, all i need is a picture on how the old 6 volt gas heaters fit in there, cause on later models the gas tank isn't in the way and i know how they fit in there, but on a 55 and earlier i'm not quite sure of. Thanks
