Combined aircon/heater unit

Try Vintage Air. The Gen II is probably what you will need. It is very small and compact.

In the sysem for the Sabre, we bought the Super Space Saver from Vinatge Air and then cut it apart and used the components. The small heater/AC combined core is pretty compact. The compact squirel cage fan also lends itself well for use in a '40. I used the demister control (flapper valve) for the control of my outside air that comes from the small NACA ducts on the nose. (The two demister vents and the two eyeball vents are fed air when ever the fan is on. Each vent can be close off individually if desired.) A vacuum dashpot opens/closes the fresh air valve under the control of a solenoid valve with its own switch on the console. The outside air is directed towards the intake for the fan, but not positively connected to it, so that it can be used alone or in conjunction with the AC/heat. They had a vacuum controled heater valve (either on or off), but have now added a thermostaically (and I assume variable) controlled heater valve to their product line now.
simon did you have a look at the site frome kitcarbuilder solutions they offer a complete set with small dimensions

You mean this stuff

I believe it is the same unit sold in the States and their $ price is about the same as the £ price
Also re read the ad the kit dos not include the compressor or condensing radiator or high pressure hose.
I'm sure others can confirm part numbers of their kits and unit sizes.
cheers

Ian/Frank/Simon,
Looking at the NF Auto kit, it appears the same as the one I got from Nostalgic. Apart from the Nostalgic is a Vacuum unit not manual switch, as I have seen in the past from NF. Also, with current exchange it costs a lot less. I'll try and take some pics later.

brett i can't find it on the site from nostalgic
Simon - I have built and run a GTD for some years - I promise you the heater will never be used! Even in Winter the A/C is a blessing

Hi Peter,
I must beg to differ. At the end of 2005 I drove my last GTD on a 500 mile round trip to devon in November. I drove at night in freezing temperatures (and freezing fog) I could not have done it without the heating on full blast all the way there and back. Now aircon....that's something I couldn't live without!

Simon - I stand corrected!
I ran mine mostly in France (South) and also 1 years in Florida (on UK plates). biggest problem was always trying to get rid on the cockpit heat.

Frank,
My previous response got lost when the server went down. It appears that the exact unit is not there any more, but the closest I can find is: ID-255 Heat air in-dash evaporator unit AFTERMARKET AIR CONDITIONING FOR AUTOMOBILES

Not for the weight it isn't. It still works out considerably cheaper than buying from CBS products.
