As part of my general rebuild of my RHD D90 to LHD... plus a few other minor mods that are in my rebuild thread here http://www.defendersource.com/forum/showthread.php?t=36827
I need to sort out a decent dash board... however, the lower LHD plenum box is in prity poor condition and to restore will cost quite a few $, also the heater output for our cold winters is at best marginal. So, got me thinking.... why not just ditch the lot & start from scratch again, I know there are a few threads around on building custom LHD dash's but thought I'd stick mine up for reference.
Starting point was a new heater/AC unit... might as well, whilst were at it
Found these : http://www.vintageair.com/index.asp
What I like about them is all the vent flaps are servo controlled so there are no restrictive control push/pull cables to have to worry about routing like the old LR heater. They also have a number of universal units of varying physical size.
Next to see if I can get the loan of the mock up cases they list from a local supplier in Vancouver, can work on the layout of the dash then.
Am rather fond of the Lara Croft dash... although it would look a lot better in crinkle finish black powdercoat
