Any news on when the first production unit will be available (or pre-production if more testing is required, with which I'd be happy to help..)?

An update is below, and as you can see Adam at T7 has got a VX220, or at least a big chunk of one.
On the original unit T7 sent me I made a spacer plate and flat bracket mounted on one side to adapt the ‘midi’ heater casing to the VX chassis, that allowed T7 to see how the system would work in the VX and get the measurements to make something better, the idea they then developed is to use 2x alloy CNC machined brackets that bolt to the existing m6 rivnuts, with one mounted on each side.
Below is a pic of the initial 3D printed version of the mounting bracket..
Below is a pic of the heater casing in place..
From Adam at T7: “Each bracket is symmetrical which will allow them to fit both RHD and LHD cars. The enclosure has all new panels (in comparison to the one in this thread to date) due to the lack of room to mount the brackets. The upper panel, that mounts the outlet, is designed to sit in a recess on the brackets and will be fixed with 6x M4 bolts. Despite the lack of space available all the M6 and M4 bolts are very easy to get to and installation should be a breeze.....
....I have made a few adjustments since these pictures and am now printing some new brackets for testing, and awaiting some more laser cutting. Progress is being made and hopefully the next revision could be the last, fingers crossed!”

I think the unit being made above is exceptional, as I know versions of the mounting system using folded alloy side plates and the existing production midi heater casing were the original options, to then scrap that and make a bespoke fixing mechanism, with screws accessable from above, and a complete new machined housing to suit the VX/Lotus chassis means we are getting something that far surpasses what Lotus threw in there in quality and performance......I'm almost looking forward to winter now

I need one of these, can you add me to the list.
After spending two days trying to figure out how to repair mine without touching it because every time I did, a little bit more crumbled away leaving me even less to rivet/glue back together.
I've given up with mine and chucked it in the bin.
I'll blank off the hoses and use it without a heater/blower for the time being.
It's summer right. I should be OK.😀
