Default t-15k space heater question

Hey guys I just came into a t-15k space heater that needs a few parts an ignition module and igniter does any one know where to get parts for this unit. I believe they were used to heat comm shelters and tents. I cant find any information on them at all not even the manufacturer. the closest looking heater is the uh48-e looks identical.


Thanks

The two heaters have different NSNs, so it may be that the differences are more than simply who manufactured it. But of what I have seen on the one UH48E that hides out in the shed, the internal components were the same as the hunter heater used on the old 5/4 ton and the Iltis ambulance, as well as some were used on tent heater stands.

The MLVW SEV also uses a similar heater but of larger BTU. Many of the components are the same.

I have a stash of parts for the old 5/4 ton van multifuel heater. If you post some interior shots of your heater's components, I can see if they are the same.

Those parts are not looking familiar to the Hunter heater parts I am used to. The NSN for the heater is 4520-01-148-1537 and the manual you want is TM 5-4520-250-14 , however a quick google check doesn't show the manual online.
