The new dashboard and aircon / heater / Hydraulic Pump

← All blog posts

I purchased a second hand Mark IV Nova dash as the previous Mark II didn't really allow much space for the new heater / AC unit I needed to fit.

I fibreglassed in an air duct

channel to make it easier to add the air vents for demisting later

The new heater / AC unit fitted (but only plumbed in for the heater currently). The AC piping will have to be a job for next time.

The new quiet Hydra-pack hydraulic pump is fitted replacing the previous Smiths Mini Pack

(which worked well but was very noisy in operation)
