Looking to gain some extra space under your bench seat by eliminating your rear heater? Upgrading to a GoWesty Furnace?

This handy little kit has everything you need to cleanly eliminate your rear heater the right way. Don't just take out your heater and plumb the hoses together! This will reduce the efficiency of the front heater and you will still have leak potential under your bench seat. The GoWesty kit contains everything you need for a clean rear heater delete project.

Includes:
• (2) Straight fittings to replace the factory "T" fittings
• (4) Stainless clamps (if your stock ones are bad)
• (2) Body plugs to fill the heater hose holes that are left behind (for 28mm holes)*
• (1) Step-by-step installation instructions

* In very rare occasions, some vans feature 32mm holes in the body, and these plugs will be too small.

So much more storage space gained under rear seat

I live in the SF Bay Area so never used my rear heater. When I happened upon this Go Westy solution I snatched them right up and installed them. Not only more storage space, but gained length for storing long items. Excellent option.

Good but do it sooner

I built out my van a couple years ago and boy I wish I did this before doing that. While removing the heater I discovered the the entire original corkboard was saturated with coolant. So, van is now empty and I am redoing the whole process again.

GW made the delete very simple and easy though!

limited installation guide

Instructions provide no information on how to limit loss and spillage of engine coolant fluid inside and outside the van when you disconnect the heater core I can’t proceed with the project because of spill concerns

Can’t you smell that smell

Glad I picked this up. Turned out that smell of coolant was the rear heater after all. Go ahead and order it for the inevitable day you decide to remove it.

Worked for me

It was tough getting those hose clamps off, but the product itself did a great job. Very satisfied. Installed the kit over a year ago. Holding up great

Rear heater delete kit

Nice little kit for the money. Poor quality hose clamps(one of mine stripped). Also, the caps included didn’t really fit my hole (they were too big). You could probably find the same pieces at Home Depot.

Perfect solution

My rear heater decided to almost catch fire goi g down the freeway. Did not want to get another heater since we live in NC and it does not get that cold here and I will probably be upgrading to a propex in the future.

Best way to actually get rid of the coolant leak issues. If you’re rocking with propane or diesel heater it’s a no brainer

Convenient

The heater core is a bit expensive and this was a great short term solution that also saves tons of space in the storage compartment

Everything you need.

This kit has everything you need to remove your rear heater. Taking one star away because the holes in my van were 32mm and the plugs did not fit.

Hi Joe, thanks for the feedback. Every Vanagon we have seen has 28mm (1-3/32') holes for the hoses to pass through. Our provided plugs are for that size opening. We have made a note on the web page alerting folks that a larger 32mm opening does exist. Thank you for bringing this to our attention! Cheers.
