Evening, My children are rather cold sitting on the rear bench. I was reading somewhere that some T25's come with rear heating.

I've spotted this on Wagonbuild..........

Would this be an easy fit? or is there further modifications needed in the dash ducting?

No mods needed to the dash existing ducting, it's a straight fit, and t's a sensible price, BUT you do need the dash cowling that goes with it as the floor duct won't fit your existing middle cowling .

Thanks. Need to look out for that piece anyway as my current one is broken so great news. What about that cab floor mats will they need modding?

Nope, sits on top of what's there, the only thing you will need to change other than that cowling is your head height when walking through, as its 2" taller than the floor! Ouch!

Thanks. One more question if you don't mind. Is the air directed down here when you move the slider to the feet position? I have 3 sliders but I think I have seen a 4 slider version??

I had one in my Caravelle. Whilst they do send some heat to the rear you end up losing quite a lot of heat in the cabin and some to the windscreen. The difference when I took mine out was quite astounding. Still, can't have the kids frozen. :D

As said, you do need a different cowling to go with it. Better still though is a Propex - then everyone is toasty.

It is fed from the "feet" position, three sliders control.
You do loose some, but it's only sharing the very large amount of heat in the cab area.
