    late 80's county dash - what's original?

    Can anyone tell me if the below (admittedly stuffed) control panel is ridgy didge for a late 80's county 110? I'm going to rebuild the dash and want to make it 'relatively' authentic... I spose given the age there is a fair variety in what's installed, hence the question.
    Thanks in advance everyone!

    G'day EchiDna

    That is about an 86 5speed 110 with Factory fitted Air/Con I have a friend that has just bought an 86 with 5 speed LT 85 with that dash, Ooh what a joy to disamble that one they were the totally intergrated units, unlike the optional under dash units, Note: when reassembling make sure you don't pinch the windscreen washer tubes where they come through on the left side, we had to disssamble the dash to replace a broken R/H screen nozzle that had the tube pinched stopping water supply.

    cheers

    That is the factory air conditioning control panel from a 1986 110. The factory air is maybe capable of cooling a small vehicle on an English summer's day, but absolutely incapable of cooling the interior of a County wagon in Western Qld. Poms have no idea of conditions outside their backyard.

    thanks all and thanks UncleHo for the advice on the washers etc - I'll take special care!

    so is this a 1986 ONLY item? if so, what happened in 1987?

    also, could someone advise what the the three buttons do? the centre one is the windscreen demist - how about the other two? what does a circle represent? I figure the "square with lines on it" is probably the vents, but would like a confirmation as the bleedin thing is not conected up!

    Pretty sure that dash was fitted to ALL air conditioned counties - from 1984 till 1989/90

    Buttons are for vents, demist, and foot level vents (from L-R).

    Yep- That is the same as I had in my 84 County. Have fun connecting up all the vacuum switches to vents etc. When I pulled mine out it was a nightmare to even reconsinder putting it back in.

    *sigh*

    well it's either a case of go original or rebuild the dash into something that
    1, has useable vents
    2, has decent aircon (not knee chillers)
    3, has some lockable storage
