1962 Beetle heater hose routing

[glutamodo]

Stale air actually gives pretty good airflow, it's basically all of the engine cooling air directed into the heater, it just doesn't smell that great. And since I no longer have a sense of smell, I really don't care!

Yes, bopping around town you don't get whole lot of benefit from those rear seat outlets. But on the freeway it's Okay. I once gave a lift to a chick who took off her wet shoes and put them behind the front seat. 170 miles on the interstate later... those shoes were more than dried out, they no longer fit, because they had shrank!

My May 1962 Australian built beetle has a stock rear heater set up.

The outlet for the rear is on the RHS (Drivers Side here of course see photo below).

I drive my bug each Saturday night. I always turn the heater on/off during the trip - purely for effect and know that its working.

Last Saturday night I reached back seat feet area. I could .... just .... feel some warmth coming through the two rear slots. Nothing to write home about.

At the same time (and with the front floor vents closed) I rated the force of the warmth being delivered via the two front windscreen vents and the left hand side was outperforming the right by 50%.

Now I've seen this post, and scrutinized my heaters & outlets, seems I have some adjusting to do.

Here are some photos of my set up which I believe is stock/original.

I've got the original kick panels in my 62. I could make you a pair of templates out of cardboard and mail them to you. I have my original brackets but not installed after new pans. You could easily make a set out of 1/8" plywood and cover with vinyl. I could take measurements and pics of the brackets to make a set. I intend to keep mine but I have all the heat going to the front so not using. Knowing they are 1 year only, I had them media blasted and preserved in case I decide to put heat in the back. Let me know if you want templates and info.

Hmmm..

I had no problem getting a $100 out of pair

They were nicer though..

Using them is IMO the easiest way to spot the proper floor ring position

Dont like a price.. dont pay.. Its that simple
You can't run down to the VW dealer or Chinamart and get them.. and I doubt anyone can shit them..so.... buy some or make some.. I was simply just passing them along..

Making a pair.. one could position the rings in the panels and on the floor in position to match.... even if they are not in the EXACT to the MM VW location..


Whine on

Ouch, yeah, kind of pricey especially with one of them looking a bit buggered up around the heater outlet.

Looks like a candidate for the whine topics at that price.

I thought of that, but I'm still looking for a set of the kick panels. I have the brackets, ducting just not the kick plates.

Hi

I been in the process of restoring my 1962 rag pan. I have a set of the 1962 only brackets that are to be installed on the pan.

I read the bulletin literature on the previous page, which gives a vague location of the brackets in relation to the pan. I would like to weld these brackets in, but im not confident with there exact location?

Could someone point me in the right direction? A three point location would be great? Or if someone knows a insert or section in the Bentley Manual?
Thanks

These little transition pieces that fit the round hose end to the oblong outlet opening would be awesome to find...they are missing from my setup. I guess I can use this pic as a template to make something out of cardboard or felt.

Thank you for you help Andy.

[glutamodo]

Okay, when you mention what year your car is, please use the Model Year, or at least say when it was made.

Well, you won't find those for sale new anywhere. Look in scrapyards, and post a WTB (Wanting To Buy) advertisement in theSamba Classifieds or try the classified ads over on the VZi site that's out of England.

My Bug model 62 from November 1961.
I do not find these parts for my car.
Thanks

[glutamodo]

Is this a 1961 Model Year beetle? If so, those were not used. They only started in August 1961 for Model Year 1962 and lasted to mid December 1962 (so the first third or so of Model Year 63)
