South Wind Stewart Warner Heater - Parts Needed
Hey y'all, I'm rebuilding my South Wind heater and am looking for some spare NOS parts packs. Specifically, I need the ceramic disks inside and a new glow plug.
Anyone got anything or got a line on who may have parts packs? Thanks! |

There was a Canadian guy that was the Southwind king. A google search should bring it up if he is still at it

Re: South Wind Stewart Warner Heater - Parts Needed
please tell me you are not going to actually run that thing. Lets see, a gasoline fire between the passengers legs. I am putting mine in my 41 pickup, but it will never have gasoline to it.

Re: South Wind Stewart Warner Heater - Parts Needed
Yes, I am aware of that tragic accident that killed Ricky Nelson. That is not PROOF my friend. That is speculation, postulation or conjecture. The blower motor on a Southwind is electric. (As an aside, It is well known that electrical wires contain smoke and when the smoke is released they cease to function. LOL)

Re: South Wind Stewart Warner Heater - Parts Needed
I live just a few miles from the company that performed the accident investigation working alongside the FAA after the crash of Ricky Nelson's plane. We visited their facility a few months ago and the gentleman that was actually on the scene and did the investigation spoke to our group. (He still has the vertical stabilizer from that DC3 hanging on the wall in their shop). In the final analysis after an exhaustive investigation and a sizeable collection of testimony including statements from the pilot and co-pilot (who both survived by the way), maintenance records, etc. it was determined that the cause of the fire in the cabin was caused by human error due to improper operation, failure to follow proper safety procedures, and faulty maintenance of the equipment, NOT the fault of the gasoline fired heater itself.

That is not exactly true. Co-pilot Brad Rank was criticized by the NTSB for not following the in-flight fire checklist after he discovered the in-flight fire, opening the fresh air vents instead of leaving them closed, not instructing the passengers to use supplemental oxygen and not attempting to fight the fire with the handheld fire extinguisher that was in the cockpit.
