Thanks, I almost forgot about that one....

I did point out to someone the other day that I have broken more homemade electric vehicles than most anyone will ever build!

I finally have some photos to share on the block heater.

Here is when I finally got the frost plug out. The view is straight through the drivers wheel well, with the wheel and rubber splash flap removed.


Here's the heater itself - notice this is with the butterly down, how it should be when it's installed.


Here's another shot of it. With the butterfly how it is when you push the heater into the block.

Load Testing


And of course, my fine working conditions. (yes, it is snowing again...)
