Witchcraft warm air blower
Would split into two and go into the fresh air for the heater boxes
1. Add a bilge blower inline on each side between the cooling fan outlets and the heater boxes
2. Use an RV heater fan setup which is powerful enough to exceed the cooling fan pressure at moderate rpms.
3. Add a bilge blower up front near the defroster and monitor it to make sure it doesn't get too hot (~160�F)
Quite a while ago, I posted about using this to pretty much do the same thing you are asking about:
While I was in Germany, my buddy and I installed something similar to this in his Beetle and the results were loud but very much better for defrosting his windshield - in fact, I'd say the results far exceeded expectations.
I can't seem to find any examples of this kit online right now but I'd guess they're still out there.
I cut holes in the firewall below the rear window, and rerouted the ducts to go from the fans to the heat exchanger inlets. (I had installed a 1600 engine.)
Didn't work for crap, and was really loud. (So I don't advocate this at all.)
Later, I put a bilge fan under the rear seat, replacing that connector piece.
That worked great, until the PVC body of the fan melted!
I'd have to say for a '73, the best bet is to get the gas heater properly working! (That is why I shopped for a '73.)
That is pretty much what I have on my Bay. I figure with all the modifications I made I get maybe 4 times the heat into the cab. My Blumaxx blower is now something like a dozen years old.
It is right over the front axle. When fully powered the fan was noisy so I installed an ignition ballast resister in series with it to slow it down and quiet it.
I'd certainly be concerned about over cooling the oil/engine with such a kit. I'm sure that would be mitigated with a thermostat, but then you are also not getting as much heat out of it!
As I said, the gas heater is why I preferred a '73 when I bought my Thing. I'd had enough being too cold in Beetles to be that interested in trying to heat a Thing with them!
I understand your reluctance but a properly restored BN4 really is just as safe as the furnace in your home. I suspect that it only caught fire due to either old fuel lines or some other deferred maintenance or (worse and probably more likely) a safety cut off or thermostat that was worked around/deleted.
Thankfully there is some great info in the Heater FAQ thread (in the sticky section at the top of this forum) which I used to get mine going a few years ago.
Jason Weigel (Notchboy here on the Samba) is a wealth of knowledge on fixing up these babies.
I added bug heat exchangers to my first '73 Thing. One fed under the rear seat and the other went up through the back deck. With the pipes being so short I got a lot of heat into the cab, while the gas heater got windshield duty.
I did shove a flexible hose into the outlet of the heater, and have it hanging from a bungy cord, so I can aim the hot air a bit more. At one point, I had it ducted all the way to the back seat area.
Thankful for the BA6 in my '73, and the new Espar heater in my '78!

@rjenkinsgb I totally agree with you but sadly there is no space left on top of the chamber for a fan and I plan to use the camber fan with swappable outlets so I can use the fan for part cooling as well. The link you posted is looks promising, thanks for that.

1. Jane - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with the Mcbride sisters black princess magic red blend. The flavor was just too overpowering for my taste. It had a heavy, almost syrupy, texture that I didn't enjoy. I also found it to be overly sweet, almost like drinking a dessert wine. I was hoping for a more balanced and nuanced red blend, but this one missed the mark for me.
2. Mark - 1 star - I couldn't stand the Mcbride sisters black princess magic red blend. The taste was incredibly acidic and sour, making it almost undrinkable. It left a lingering unpleasant aftertaste that I simply couldn't get rid of. It's rare for me to dislike a wine this much, but unfortunately, this one just didn't work for my palate. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone looking for a smooth and enjoyable red blend.
3. Sarah - 2 stars - The Mcbride sisters black princess magic red blend was a letdown for me. The aroma was quite off-putting, giving off a musty and slightly rotten smell.
