Relocate A/C Controls

[Elombard]

Wow that is a nice box, I wonder if the PO fabbed it or found something from another car that worked?

[rusnak]

yeah, if you can find the P.O. ask him if he contracts out his work, cause from the looks of it, he has skills.

I'm not sure to either one of those questions but I can tell you that 99% of the paperwork that I have is from Precision Motion Kravig Engineering in Riverside, CA. Maybe that's a good place to start because I don't think this guy did anything on his own based on the amount of paperwork.

it would be on one of their invoices. Any other trick bits in the car?

I would remove the console since it is broken and does not look great but I was wondering where to put the emergency flasher, A/C, radio fader... If there was a nice small panel like the one shown then it could fit a variety of things. I guess I could eliminate the lighter and use the empty plug space for some items and put the A/C between the seats.

Now I would like to eliminate the headlight washer, sunroof switches with blanks. Has anyone done this?

How did he run the temp sensor to the evaporator? Thats a really long run for that hard line. The box looks like for one of those aftermarket a/c units that are used for hot rods.

Has anyone done a relocation of their console knobs (flasher, rear window heater) to the dash?

Nice. I started to do just that, but too much work pulling carpet, etc. and hacking into the tunnel. Went back to original console set-up but rewarded myself with installing a lamp to let me know when compressor is activated. One wire to switch blade contact on thermo control and one wire to ground.

I already replaced the entire carpet and know the problems with removing and replacing the console. I just don't think it does much...just a knob holder. If I can relocate these knobs then it would clean up the interior.
