the CF has a demister !!!! its the same fan that powers the heater, take a look near the windsreen and you will find the vents, the standard heater control has a pull out lever that turns on the fan and just like a real car you put the levers in the winscreen position  ;D none of them works though, I did a roadworthy where the guy pulled out the lever and set it on windscreen there was a bit of a whirring noise and a bit of a draught coming out of the vents and that was acceptable, or you could buy a small surface mounted 12 volt oscillating fan like they have in the camper vans and trucks and position it so its faces the windscreen acceptable ? dunno but it is more effective than the standard.  ;)

computer fans are 12v, mount 2 of those in the screen vent hoses.
might be a bit of engineering to get them 2 fit ben,fiberglass is a wonderfull stuff, :D
u can do it ive seen how u make things adapt.:).
ur heater box was a master piece :o ;D

p.s. make sure all non standard welds are nice n tidy,(no birdshit welds)
not sayin ur welds are, but ive seen some bad welds on some vehicles ive bought in the 30 years ive been playin with cars, vans etc.
