Heater Vents

Post slightly out of order but a quick update on the vents, they were simple to do just required lots of measuring.  Unfortunately - I cocked up one of the measurements, god knows how I managed it because I checked so many times!  I simply didn't concentrate and ended up putting a drill hole right in the center of the scuttle.

After a littler thinking I decided to put a nice button head bolt in - absolutely no function at all but it hides the mistake well.  Some pics:



I can see the mistake above - I've filled in right the way along to the center line and then drilled the corners, at least I spotted it in time before dremeling out the blank!  That would have been harder to fix.

The slots cut out and the offending hole:



The plastic "plenum" is then glued in place on the rear and left overnight to go off.


Finished result on the car:


Controls wired in and tested, looking nice and neat:
