Heater + fresh air

[horchoha]

There is really a need for a valve to direct from foot to defrost? What if they all work at the same time?

In these wonderful open air automobiles there is no need.
All my builds have no directional air flow selection, there is no need.

The foot well is so small in a Seven, that you really do not need a lot of air flow to keep your feet warm. I probably have about 60% directed thru the defrost vent, which helps get "a little" heat in the upper cabin area. Disclaimer: I have half doors and a bikini top and typically only run the heater on the lowest speed. A with fully open cabin it would be more difficult and a different story.

I have 3D printed my heater and defroster vents.
Not the best looking, because I don't have a big enough printer bed, so I had to make it from multiple parts, but it is not a museum piece.
The 7 logo part is just to cover some of the ugliness.
I still have to decide defrost ducts, not sure if I will use one with a T, or two separate ones.

I have also printed a new trim bracket, instead of the original GTI trim, which has to complicated shape. I don't know how to use CAD, just messing with it, but eventually I made all these parts.
It has an inner ring as well. I will saw all three parts together. I don't have a proper stapler.
