8.7. HEATING

Controls:
The heater in the Burton is controlled the same way as in the 2CV, namely with a “pull/push” cable system. The original control lever is also used. This is placed in the car under the dashboard. The original cable will probably be too short. Burton Car Company provides a longer version.
- Find a suitable place for the heater controls. Make sure it does not block anything, but that it is within hand’s reach. Do not fasten the heater controls yet.
- First, attach the outer cable to the controls.
- Drill a hole in the dashboard so that the cable runs smoothly and without cracks to the left heat exchanger.
- There is a double cable attachment to the left heat exchanger so that the right heat exchanger can also be controlled. [picture]
- First, adjust the outer cables to their correct length and then do the inner cables. Hook the inner cable to the lever of the heater controls.
- Attach the cable with a screw clamp to the valve of the heat exchanger and adjust them.
While adjusting, you can use your hand to check in the heat exchanger whether the valve shuts off entirely.
- Mount the spring for the heat exchanger.
- Fasten the heater controls.

The heat discharge:
The heat that is produced by the heater should be discharged in the right way when you do not use the heater. So it is very important to assemble the heat discharge tubes, otherwise your engine might seize.

- Draw an oval hole on the inside of the front, just below the mudguard and in line with the hole in the heat exchanger. [picture]
- Drill two holes of 65 mm next to each other, with a distance of 4 cm in between.
- Polish these holes into one oval hole.
- Stick the heat discharge tube from outside through the front to the inside and shove it over the hole of the heat exchanger.

NB: If you have a car with cycle-wings, you can mount a grill on the outside of the front. This grill is not available at Burton Car Company.

The heat supply:

- Place the two heater tubes between the heater transit and the inner holes of the heat exchangers.
- If necessary, cut of a piece if they obstruct shifting.
- Fasten the heater tubes to a cable with a tie-wrap. This keeps the shaking of the engine from causing them to fall on the exhaust, causing a fire.
