Diesel heater install.
Cut the perforated panel away from under the n/s seat, made a template for the holes required through the floor and drilled them out.

The outlet nozzle rotates, and I'll eventually fit a removable cover.
Just waiting on a bespoke diesel tank for the engine bay.

To get the heater under the seat base it can't be any wider or taller than 120mm.

Anybody need a 5kW diesel heater? It was sent by mistake and they won't accept returns.
Box only opened to measure heater body.

I also ran some speaker cables from the dash to the Westy bed base, but decided on a twin voice coil speaker for the original speaker position.

Unfortunately this meant the rev counter pod and wiring were in the way, so they had to be relocated. Had to drill two holes in the dash top that I wasn't too happy about, but never mind.
Speaker in and working. I added some foam seal around the edge of the speaker to wedge it under the dash edge trim and the bottom is held by two machine screws.
Quite impressed with the sound actually.
