Good work!
Is the factory impeller steel? You might want to consider having the pulley and impeller hard coated for longevity. A good anodize will make it last a whole lot longer.
What are the plugs you are using to plug the heater connections?

I've nearly got the spring loaded tensioner set up finished. The new bracket is now acting as a bit of extra bracing for the alternator mount.

I had thought about anodising it but I figured I'd try it out and see if it works OK first.
I've been collecting all the parts to build a home anodizing plant. I've got some deep cycle batteries and a 48V DC rectifier and cabling. Now I've just got to sort out a tank, sulfuric acid and some lead for the anode. I also want to work out a way to cool the acid to do hard anodizing. The problem is making space to put everything. I've really got to tidy up my shed and throw out a bunch of junk to make some space.
