like a temporary demister? lol
or ar you going to run no heater, and mount a hair dryer, converted to 12V and ducted up to your windscreen?

I think you'll find its quite likely that inside a normal 240V hair dryer, there will be a transformer inside to convert it to 12V anyway

Yeah no heater, just connected to ducted vents for demister.
I'll probably dismantle it and make up a wee box for it so it doesn't look so much like a hair dryer.

Thats interesting about the transformer thingy. where'd would I look to find out info like that, I doubt there's a modified hair dryers forum. Might just have to buy one and see
