Webasto install HDJ81

[danakittilsen]

Here's the mess of wires I'm dealing with. A glow plug relay, starter relay, as well as windshield washer lines are going to have move a bit.

i THINK i flipped them around so the fender stuck inside the fender instead of out and i MIGHT have run the wires inside the fender as well

 

[danakittilsen]

Sweet thanks for the idea! I'll try that!

I picked up a NIB 24 volt Webasto and read this through this thread for install ideas.

Crushers, my install instructions allow for drawing off the diesel supply using a "T" within certain limits.

danakittilsen, how did your test go? If you have any useful left overs give me a shout. Currently looking for a timer. I have 2 12 volt Espars as well but they need work.

 

[crushers]

your still alive after this nasty dump we got?
yes, that is how i run it as well, T into the main feed line but air bubbles are a huge NO NO. so play safe.

Yup, still kickn'. Running out of space to put snow. Have 2 boys now that cause havoc and destruction...

As my install is on a different vehicle it will be an experiment. I was worried about how close to components I could be but from the photos on here I'll be ok. I'll have to move a few bits.

I'm thinking of using the webasto for hot shower while camping....oh yeah.

take a look at the install on the BJ70 build:
https://forum.ih8mud.com/70-series-tech/556189-1985-bj70-cnd-refubishing-modifications.html
and you will see a TIGHT install.
this might give you some ideas.
once again we recieved a couple inches of snow while the rest of Ontario got dumped on. pretty sad since this used to be the snow belt.
kids couped up in winter, i remember those days ... i am surprised my sister didn't kill me back then.

Finally got my webasto installed



Used the exhaust wrap. Smoked a bit at first but calmed down by the time I finished a beer.

I ordered this simple 12v DC device remote starter for about 20$ off eBay. Works like a charm.

I'm also using my old dual set suspension switch to create an in dash switch. Having it relabeled right now. I'll post a pic when I get it back

Hoping to wire this in tonight once the electronic wizard (father) gets home from work.

 

[Douglas S]

Getting pretty close now.

Like it was there oem, nice clean work.

Finally got a chance to install my timer.

I purchased a spare center console trim piece that's in rough-ish shape and cut a hole in it for the timer. There's just enough clearance underneath. I have a few more holes to drill for a switch panel I'm making and then I'll refinish it.

 

[crushers]

THAT i like, congrats. sweet clean install.

 

[twinotter600]

Douglas S, I do like. If you have any bits or wiring harnesses left over that you want to get rid of send me a pm.

Went through Regina twice last month.

When the webasto is running, does it vibrate at all?

Thanks. No spare parts I'm afraid.

No, there is no vibration.

Tell me, what is the size of cut out for the timer and outside size of timer

 

[Douglas S]

If I can figure out how to get my scanner working I'll upload the supplied template.

This webasto is really making me excited for winter.
