I haven’t found out yet I’m afraid Richard.
Work stopped on the Sprint a while ago, it is needing reassembly and painting
which really needs to be addressed as it is my only car…..

Hi Ian,
Have you been able to fit and test the upgraded heater matrix ?
Thanks, Richard

:oops: I am rather embarrassed to admit,Richard, that I have done no work on the Sprint
since I can’t remember when.
Plan is to restart in the New Year….

Sorry for digging up an old post, but I wonder if 2 Dolomite matrices would fit in the heater box ?

Double the volume, without modifying the box ? Wouldn’t be that hard to plumb 2 together ?

That won’t work I am afraid Richard, there just isn’t enough space.

My Sprint is still stuck in the garage awaiting completion.
Unfortunately I have had my hours cut (by about 10%) so cannot really
afford to run a car. To try and overcome this I have started a new (part time) business
(but have had to spend quite a bit on equipment).
I should have the money to finish my Sprint but I have had a credit card account closed
with a balance in credit of over £1400. Given that the company in question didn’t answer
the phone or reply to my correspondence , I have went to the financial services ombudsman,
but I have no idea how long this could take or even if there is any chance of getting the money
refunded

Thanks
