SS-7 cabin heater

[Meyertheflyer]

Could anyone who's installed the heater kit for the super sport
Look at this and tell if this is where it mounts? The radiator seems
smaller than before and the angle brackets aren't long enough.
Do the two fans still mount on top? Any help is sure appreciated!

My SS7 kit was purchased in 2011 and maybe things have changed since then, but yes that is where the heater mounts and the fans mount on top. Your heater core does look smaller than mine. My build instructions show the heater ports facing aft with 180 degree fittings so the hoses go over the top of the core and then thru the firewall. My fans are mounted to the top of the core with zip ties, not the angles you are showing. My angles were used under the core to mount to the airframe tubing. You should have received and instruction sheet with the heater option that explains all this. Hope this helps.

The picture shows the installation of my heater, the element is about double the size of yours

I just spoke with John and I was sent the heater core for a model 4. Another is on the way, no worries. Thanks

I got the heater radiator for the SS7 and this is how it now should look when mounted. Just a picture for anyone to refer to if need be.
