A buddy of mine just finished installing a rear seat heater in his pre-1970 Citabria.
All parts (except for the "T" duct") were purchased from American Champion or Aircraft Spruce. Parts total $243.

FYI-

To prevent the SCAT tubing from rubbing through I suggest that he separate them and liberally coat the contact area with RTV (GE Silicon Seal), it will prevent them from rubbing and provide a cushion.
