    My County has a series heater- no hole in the firewall though. All done by Fred Smith, here in Melb.
    I'm having a long weekend in it -leaving soon, so will post up pics Monday.
    Here is a link to the vent conversion I did.

    JUst do a search under "vent conversion" or County Vents" - all the info you should need is there..

Even Jeff Stubbs , a landrover Knob ,said they were far superior to the standard issue and wanted one to trial in his perentie 6 X 6 when we did trials with it in the Pilbara.circa 85-87 methinks
    Dont know if that helps with Air-con vents and heater matrix , but a trip to wreckers for $100 second hand will improve it out of sight .
    Have to find the Photos to show what I mean .!!!!!
    Sounds like a useful conversion.
    I'm definitely interested in the photos if you can find them.

How does that sound?
    Mine is kind of setup like that.



    It works really well, I only have to switch it a couple of times a year.
