Has anyone done this? I am using donor guages (no pod) and I think I can fit the heater behind them in the center of the dash up against the drivers side of the dash hoop support. It will stick out quite a bit into the engine compartment, but it looks like nothing will contact it. This should leave tons of room on the passenger side behind the dash for a glovebox. Sound like a good or bad plan?

Hey ffroggy,
Sorry for posting this here, But you replied to one of my posts with the followig: "I put the V6/V8 brakes on my car. They are aluminum dual piston PBRs, much lighter than any other Mustang brakes. I paid $140 for the entire front brake system, new takeoffs. It is a cheap performance upgrade."
My question is . Where did you buy your take-off brake system, and what parts did it include??

Again, very sorry for hijacking your post.

Thanks, Jeff E.

Funny you should ask. There is a group purchase going on through someone whose screen name is Spidermonkey on www.cobraforum.com. There should be an email address there. He has new takeoffs from Saleen. They take these brakes off to put theirs on the Mustangs. Comes with everything but pads I believe. I am not sure if I am allowed to post someone's email address here so go to cobra forum and ask him about it. There is a post there titled "SN95 spindles" with a few details on the purchase. His email address should be there.
I found mine on www.corral.net in the classifieds from a private party. Found my spindles on ebay for $150. Check www.svo73mm.cjb.net for info in the install. Email me if you have other questions. I want to find out if this heater will work!

I got my heater from Whitby Motorcars so I'm not positive they're the same but mine looks like the same unit that Tri-States sells. My heater is mounted right in the middle of the dash just like you're suggesting. It sticks into the engine compartment a good bit but it fits. The only problem I have is that there's so little room between the heater and intake that I can't even get to stuff behind the engine (like PCV valve) without taking the intake off. Some of that is my fault though. I was so paranoid about having enough room for gages and wiring that I probably stuck it too far into the engine compartment. Anyway, putting the heater in the middle of the car does free up the passenger side for a glove box.

Awesome! Looks like I will have both the tristate heater and glove box that seems impossible have by many. Thanks!
