Chilled glove box
« on: 10 October 2008, 17:02:34 »

I know Lizzie zoom was chatting about this a while ago, I have just done this to mine it is actually fairly easy to do if you can find the parts , I found a car in the scrappy the other day with it fitted and liberated it .
 The worst bit is taking the glove box out really but even thats not bad once you know were all the screws are  :y
My glovebox had the knock out for the pipe and slide already there so I would assume most do . there is a single rubber pipe from the glove box that fits on to a spigot on the blower unit on my car this was simply blanked off with a rubber cap .
I removed this and fitted the pipe in place not quiet as simple as it sounds  ;) just a bit awkward getting to it , I did just use some glue on the rubber to make sure it stayed put .Put the glove box back in position and it works ok  :y

If you find the edge of the rear of the glove box and follow that accross to the tunnel it is there so yes it is, it is recessed and a bit awkward to find it is approx 6-8 inches from the top of the tunnel .
I should have taken a picture . I will have a look tomorrow and if I  can take a picture of its position I will do . I may not be able to do it with out removing the glove box though :y

Thanks.  :y
I'll have another look in mine. I looked ages back but couldn't find anything but I wouldn't mind a chilled glove box again. Trouble is there never seems to be many Omegas in the local breakers, let alone one with air con. :(
