Is Hatch Defroster Circuit Adequate for Heated Fan?

[Captain Obvious]

Cool. I'm surprised to hear (or not hear?) that it's so quiet. I would have expected it to be a jet engine firing off back there.

Post a pic when you get a chance?

some pics of the lovely mod-o-the-day:

mounted using existing panel fastener hole and longer screw - used this as the ground connection

fancy wire path with black tape - concours guys close your eyes. pretty invisible though...

there's tape on the side of the fan because i removed the silly little fold-out handle that recesses into the body on one side - it converts it to a mini-hair dryer which, in theory would allow you to go around the car and defrost. total waste of time because it's really not powerful enough for that. i took off the handle just to reduce the weight by a couple of ounces out of fear the swivel base might not hold it in position every time i opened/closed the hatch. turned out to be not necessary, it stays in place just fine - hasn't moved a bit to date.

I like it!

You've got a little Blue and some red in your blood.

But more precision and finesse! I knew it when you first came around, those Ducatis are like artwork.

thanks for the kind words - i love my toys, few things give me as much satisfaction as tinkering w/cool machines. 

i'd love to build a stripped down pure race version, but my driveway (and wallet) only have room for one and the only way i can justify it is by driving it every day so creature comfort and practicality are a big part of the equation. one day though...
