Thanks everybody for your ideas. I have taken out the actual aluminium heater unit, and will need to cut the in and out tubes short, and then reroute rubber heater pipes through firewall on passenger side, and the into the engine bay etc. I am trying to find some pre-bent heater hoses (tried supercheap auto!) so that the end result doesn't end up kinked.

I will need to fit sound deadening/insulation soon so hat I don't end up with too much rework.

I agree with WKB that the modern chassis allow fitment of the hvac units. So when I have worked out the way I'll post some info for the next builder.

Still a long way to go, but I'm getting quite excited now as I can see progress.

Cheers. Chucky
