Auto to Manual Heat?

Auto to Manual Heat?
My auto heater unit is shot and I DON'T want to spend $1K to get another. Has anyone ever done an auto to manual conversion? I found the following article, but there's not too much to go on.

That's exactly what I want to do! Any tips, instructions, or additional parts needed you can share would be appreciated! Also, what is Einmalig? How do I get in touch with Brian?

Trade part #2 for part #1 plus some cash.
Also get two of part #51, not #52.
You will also need part #44. There are a couple varieties, but Brian has the right one.
Parts #34 and #43 coming together is the hardest part and even it was easy. You may or may not need to readjust your parking brake. I didn't.
You will have a bit of electrical to disconnect and tuck away and the brake light switch will need to be reconnected. It's easy.
Would tell more, but I gotta run.

The only part of this that made me crazy was when pushing the new wires down the boden (sp) tubes. There is a funky insert in the tube where it transitions from the chassy to the flexible tube leading to the flapper boxes. Pull the tube and guide the wire in by hand. ....and grease the wire before you start.
How clean are your flapper boxes? You may want new springs at hardware. I had found new boxes on craigslist for dirt cheap.

Thanks for the additional tips!
I don't know - yet. I pulled that POS control box out last night when I was working in the interior. I can't wait to replace my carpet. The original is a complete mess. I also look forward to installing a manual heat switch like you have. It really cleans up/simplifies the interior.

Call Bob at AppBiz for the carpet. I went black Perlon felt and love it. If you are trying to remain a bit more stock he has that too.
I also emailed Brian about the heater/hand brake parts!

The Perlon is very light weight and will show wear quicker than the Sliverknit.
I used a thin layer of felt sound pad under mine and ended up with a lower noise level in my cab than with my stock carpet. Very pleased with it.
Speaking of sound level, I wrapped my cat in aircraft grade header wrap. Made a huge change. Crossover pipe is next. We can actually talk inside the car now....not that I want to.

I've already removed the cat and I'm running a complete bypass. My car is LOUD on the inside - but I don't care about talking either. I just want a Porsche hot rod when I'm done. Something to cruise around town and get the dogs barking.

What is wrong with your dash? My dash, kick pad, and door tops are still blue and look great against the black RSR doors and carpet. Soon I'll have seats....well, by this time next year. Right now I'm working on '78 930 brakes.
