Tunnel cover & Aux Dash fitting

Front tunnel cover

Since I have the heater sitting at the front of the tunnel the front tunnel cover needed its front edge modifying appropriately. It tucks right under the heater and allows the loom up either side:


Aux Dashboard panel

The only changes required on the aux dash are to open up the existing holes to the right diameter for my buttons & add in a few more. Notwithstanding the simplicity of changes it still took me a good while to make he changes.

I used a cone drill bit to open them up - its much more controllable on thre aluminium internal panels than the stainless. I also have the heater on/off pull added bottom left, another row of buttons at the top & a discrete adjustment knob at the side.

Controls will be:
   Top row: Fog Lamp, ECU Map switch
   Second row: Heater fan, 12v socket, Horn
   Bottom row: Heater water on/off pull (drivers side - fan speed adjustment)

..and in situe; The heater push pull also has a cutout in the tunnel cover panel not visible here:
