pre-cat heater panel upgrade

[vodkakid]

has anyone upgraded the heater panel in there griff and is it easy to do? i have an early griff which has both window controls on the same side and would like to spread them out as in the later ones, plus do you think it would harm the value as its a precat(mind you its got a later nose cone anyway)

no one know if its got the same wiring??

Hi Andy how u doing

I cant see any problems with changing it only with the lenghting the wiring but that shouldnt be too hard.

U could make your own!! its only steel with the veneer put on afterwards.


I done mine with some Carbon fibre sheet on top of the original steel layout,(have some carbon left if u ant some).

As for affecting the value, then only in the eyes off someone who would like it Very original, and like u say the nose cone isnt.

Also if u keep the old one so it can be put back later if some one wants to would help(like with the Light upgrades u can keep the old fittings)

Vodkakid is your heater control panel black shiny stuff or walnut veneered? Where might I get a veneered one?

[vodkakid]

hello jigs mines a veneered one and i have thought as far a head as buying one so im not sure where to go from here

[vodkakid]

i may even make one up myself with my prefered layout, as it is anyone winding the window down when i put it in third gets there wrist broke

Where did you buy the veneered panel from?

[vodkakid]

i think we've got our wirers crossed mines already got a veneered one but i want to change it i dont know where you can buy finished panels from but if you make the steel plate then Peninsula Automotive know a man who can put the veneere on for you

Sorry I must have misunderstood you. I gathered that your car had a veneered one but I thought you said you had bought another one to modify. Are you intending to change the heater controls as well as the window switches?

[vodkakid]

no just move em around a bit
