Tidy job taz. Does it draw from the plenum, or recirculate only?
Cheers

Unfortunately mate unless somebody comes up with a smaller unit for us the loss of the glovebox seems the only way.
Still love what your doing.

So why I wait for my VE Commodore boot hinges ( will be repurposed into bonnet hinges) to arrive I thought I would slice and dice the bonnet catch to see if I can use the original set up. Luckily it appears that it will fit past the new radiator.

I had to slice and dice the lower bonnet catch on the wagon too. No room for a normal fan between the SBC and radiator, so had to run thermofans on the "push" side of the radiator. Cut a fair amount of the bonnet catch to get two Davies Craig fans in.
Cheers,
Harv

Just need long arms to mark the inside back hole when the bonnet is shut and it's basically done

Fabbed up a cover panel for the radiator and front bonet catch support bar. It will have cut outs in it to allow air flow.
