Nick, I'd like to thank you in advance for arranging some warm weather for us this year.

I finished my handwarmers and my leg/nut/footwarmers on my SJ today.

wow thats well done! the only thing I'm unsure of is the pisser being valved rather than the hand/foot warmer itself. Now when you adjust how much water your hands get, you could restrict the water flow through the engine
I prefer using a T so that 50% of the cooling water exits unrestricted, and the other 50% goes through a valve and then to my hands. That way I could never accidentally overheat my motor
but seriously, those fittings you made are awesome!

With dual cooling/pissers, I had to valve my warmers and each pisser to get the flow out the warmers and the temps right. With the warmers and really cold water I couldn't get my temps up high enough without controlling the restriction on all three.

SO FAR CHANGE SUCKS!!!!!!

Yea I thought of that but I figured I could regulate the overboard pissers to give my warmer pissers the right pressure. If needed I can install to more valves on the other side. I guess I will make my first run with the valves wide open to see how much water comes out the warmers.
I dont think I have to worry about overheating my motor. I always watch the water coming out of my pissers to see how much is coming out.
I do have two small plastic valves I can but on the bar pissers if needed. I need to buy one for the footwarmer also.

I plumbed my setup in last night and now I should be toasty all over. If it works as planned I'll have a heated floor and a full body shower.
The only thing missing from my setup is a valve system. The 2 large stores had nothing interesting so I'm going to hit up a local ACE.

OK, here's my take on the hand warmer idea.
Have one line running up the pole where it splits into 2 3/8" copper lines. The copper lines barely stick past the chin pad and are covered with clear plastic tube.
The idea is that I can aim the direction of the water flow by bending the soft copper and I can alter the streams shape by squeezing the outlet with a pair of pliers.
I ran another line to the back of the motor and split that into 2 shorter lines. Again, I used copper on the very end for the same reasons as mentioned above.
I split the tray line into 2 because I had 2 holes in the dash already plus I wanted both footsies to be nice and warm.
It's a maze of hoses in the bilge but if this works I'll clean it all up some and leave it for next winter.

What chinpad is that?
I got a UMI pole, WDK steering with straight bars and I can't find a chinpad to fit.....:frown:
