Just finished up welding up the bracket and installing the M151 heater. Didn't like the under glove box location because it took up leg room and the air supply was on the wrong side for the original diverter box. Removal of the steering column bracket allowed for the installation above the steering column. Fabricated a bracket to bolt to the firewall using one of the old bracket holes. Once the duct pipe is hooked up, nothing will show.

Depending on where you put the heater, I have had to unscrew and rotate the output duct. It puts out so much heat, I have never bothered with a defrost system.

Good Morning,
I installed a JC Whittney hot water heater on my M abouit a month ago. Put it under the glove box, it does not seem to take up too much room, passangers say its fine. as for heat distribution: WOW!! no problem. I keep the right side vent closed and the M heats up toooo much. I find myself turning the fan on and off. It has been a very mild winter so the heater did not get much use. GOOD LUCK BOB
