Steve,

That is an interesting approach. The displacement idea makes sense. Did you make new holes, or just rely on the general leakage from the belly cover? If you made holes, did you notice any airflow loss in the above registers?

G McCall,

Back in 03 when we were looking at Cardinals, they were using the 24VDC tank heaters in lieu of heating the belly. I suppose there are advantages/disadvantages to either method. To get any heat from a 24VDC strip must account for a large draw on the batteries or converter which I might not be willing to give up. I've never heard feedback from a tank heater owner to hear how well the setup works.
