I got one from a swap meet 2 weeks ago, looks nearly the same and its a Nippondenso brand ( named after a dim witted japanese man I think )

Also have another one for another car that has two doors on it very much like if not the same as the Bosch heaters.

Its branded "Mareanu"

There's some names.....

Shintoa
Smiths
Bosch
Nippondenso
Mareanu

Try saying them quickly after a few bourbons!!

That would explain the Nippondenso being a lookalike to the Bosch heater then Tim

Sorry No Mad, gotta keep my heaters for up and coming projects.
