Mounting HVAC controls to the Centre Console

[geordiepingu]

Hi all

I have been invited to play surgeon on a rather pretty Wedge that was found in bits, and I'm trying to put it back together. The short is I can't for the life of me figure out how the fan/heater controls mount to the centre console fascia. To me it looks like there's a bracket missing, but I couldn't see anything in the parts catalogue.

Any help/advice/guidance? TIA

I pulled the dash out of my SEAC the other year and took loads of photos. I'll dig them out and post later. The heater quadrant bolted to a plate that sits behind the main veneered plate.

I had mine apart too. In my case there were a bunch of washers used as spacers between the controls and the plate.

Probably 3 or 4 washers per bolt!

Here is a photo of the steel plate in my SEAC with the mounting holes for the heater control quadrant. You can clearly see the round mounting holes either side of the horizontal slots. The quadrant was held in with countersunk headed set bolts which sat flush at the front, then as Adam says, there were 3 or 4 washers on the back of the bolts, then the quadrant and then finally a further washer and backing nut. Looking at yours I think the short vertical slots are the mounting holes which would allow some vertical movement for alignment. Cheers.
