    Okay lads,

    Just a quick update for the benefit of the Toymods communtity (Because truly cares for His fellow Reputators )

    Rex can say for sure that the under dash box-ermajig is a 100% bolt in jorb. Almost too easy, Rex will likely be hit by a car sometime soon...

    Just unbolt the blower unit so it can be pushed to the side slighty, unscrew and remove that lump of ducting between the blower and the heater box, and stick that in the KE70 rally car if you are taking that route.

    The KE70 A/C box will fit into the AE86 perfectly, all the mounting points both on the car and the other units are there (just previously unused), and the grommeted holes in the firewall are also already there.

    Then bolt the blower back into position over the inlet for the A/C box and tighten the sealing clamp.

    Your lightweight AE86 is now several Kg's heavier, but on the way to being far more comfortable for that small amount of time that A/C is deaperately required .


    You shall hear more as the conversion unfolds.

    Rex
