    Any pix of your updated dash?
    Any tips for other folks?
    I tried one out and has some issues with the RH vent operation.

    I've been dying to do this to my 110 but haven't been able to find anywhere to get it. Mind sharing where you were able to score it?

    I must admit, when I drive in my NAS 110, I feel like I'm riding in an '85 Chevy S10. The thought (or lack thereof) that went into the design is baffling. Nothing like putting an AC vent an inch from the window that is blocked by a big piece of protruding plastic.

    I guess we should call it the TD5 dash, mine worked out well, except for the RH dash vent.
    I'll have to break down and put in the TD5 vent lever, too.

    When rebuilding mine, The thought of a Land Rover without scuttle vents was too much to bear, so I replaced the bulkhead, heater box and dash with a new ROW one and never looked back. I always hated the NAS dash. It gave new meaning to "Cheesie".

    I'm going to do this soon in my early 110 and also have some questions. The new style switches operate relays and not the devices directly correct? So in addition to the switches you need the associated relays? Did you guys use your existing wiring harness or did you use a td5 harness?
