Phew.

Two years ago on a fall trip it was COLD weather (high teens and low 20s) and of course I had the heat on the 911 running. The factory AC was pitiful, but the box stock factory heater will roast occupants in short order. I had turned the footwell blowers off, and I forgot to add in any fresh air to keep the vent temps below roasting. My wife went to get a sip of water from a bottle that fits in the door pocket. She said ouch, the heater vent almost burned my hand. So I added in some fresh air and that got the temp to warm and toasty not burn you level.

I have the kneepad vents from Kuhel to add to the tiny little vent on the sides of the 85 Carrera. The knepad vents on that side got a bit melty, and I really needed to replace it. I finally called Griffiths and mentioned the issue, and he said the instructions have a warning to not run too much heat as they will melt. He sent me a replacement one under warranty as his parts are lifetime guarantee.

I finally got around to installing it today. It has been a while, but I never sit over there and I kept forgetting to do it. So now the passengers will have a working AC and heat vent and not have to rely on the tiny little side vent and the center vent. The bosses wife will appreciate it.
