As I was gutting the dash I had the pleasure of also tearing out the old Triumph heater. These guys are pretty heavy at 8lbs and rather large. I had a few choice words trying to get it out of there needless to say. The controls are very Spartan for this guy and there were no ducting to vents anywhere in the Cabin. This area of the build was left to interpretation and not really covered in the build plan guide. To me running vents is pretty easy but that is just me. I was actually happy to have a clean slate on this to improve upon. It will be nice to get this modernized.
Some things I did not really like was having the master cylinder hidden behind the dash. So there is going to have to have some kind of access door cut out in order to get to it. Another thing I didn't like was the heater and windshield wiper controls under the bottom of the dash. I thought it would be hard to recognize and get to. So we will have to relocate all of that to a proper place that is easy to access and recognize. Another thing that really bothered me maybe more than anything at this point was the wiring. There was way to many exposed wires along with crap connections way to many shotty splices
Wiring is one of my major pet peeves so it is no surprise I ripped it all out
Better of starting with a clean slate on this and doing it right from the get go!
