I decided to start another little project today. Since I'm going to be moving my window switches to the center console i figured I'd put my ac controls there to so that i don't have to open and close my glove box constantly this winter, lol. I only got one switch done today, it's the fan speed control. I've kept the acrylic as an attempt to make this switch light up again.

I'm going to mount the other to as a whole (face, acrylic, and switches) and they will be a perfect fit, but i didn't cut anything because i haven't decided how exactly i want to go about this.Hopefully Alex can give me some incite on it tonight

(Yes Jason i know the white plate is upside down in this pic

)

Well my temp controls cable is short by an inch or 2

so i need to order a few parts to extend it before i can move forward with this..

I've relocated heater controls in a '64 fairlane I used to own,I just went to a bicycle shop and got a 10 speed shifter cable,and crimped the original end of the cable to it.

I've got a bicycle cable i could use, but i was going to order what Jason used when he did his here

No one has claimed my cable yet. I'm not going to use it. I could finish it so it's only a few inches longer than stock and send it to you.

Really? That would be awesome

JasonWW · 08-05-2007, 01:16 PM

Try and tell me exactly how long it needs to be. Measure from the very ends of the cable.

sporty_drew · 08-05-2007, 01:29 PM

of the actual cable i need 22", thats not measuring the controls on the end of cable.

JasonWW · 08-05-2007, 01:34 PM

I guess I can figure it out from that. It'll be a few days before I can send it out.

PM me your address.

JasonWW · 08-08-2007, 09:40 AM

After measuring some things, a 22" cable would be adding 4 3/4" to the stock length. Does that sound right?
If not, measure the total length including everything.

yea that sounds right, i have to make it around the support bar.

Well i get everything done for the show except the cable to change the temp. here are some shots of the relocations. I plan to make the top of the center console match the bezel around the shifter. Sorry about the bad picture, just didn't want to turn out today.

At the show on Sunday in my class there was only one other car. It was a 2002 yellow Trans Am collectors edition. It was perfect and only had 5000 miles on it (poor car) needless to say i took second, but it was fun to be around all the people and get the "you have a computer in your car!?!" lol.
