I was considering replacing the heater matrix and fan assembly with something else like a fully electric unit (with upgraded wiring of course).

I came across someone who mentioned the underdash unit from Speedy Air Spares
http://speedyairspares.com.au/catalog/Under_dash_HEAT_COOL-4-1.html but I was hoping to find something without with air con coil (and maybe heater coil/matrix too) so it just runs on 12V to power fan and heater (when necessary)

Does anyone have any suggestions of anything that they have used (or seen used). I really don't want to here any comments such as "buy a cheap hairdryer or fan and put it under the dash. I would really like to use a well designed unit in my rebuild.

I bought one of these jobbies for the moke:
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/12V-150W-Car-Boat-Ceramic-Heater-Cooler-Fan-2in1-NEW_W0QQitemZ310188672259QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_15?hash=item4838af8503

Have yet to try it, but seems well made enough for the price (although I paid $60 delivered). My plan was to hard wire it in behind the dash blowing through the existing location onto the driver's side of the windscreen. Should be fine for complience, and weighs bugger all.

I think I'll repeat myself from above:
