PV8: I'm thinking the radio controls would be unable to mount, would be too wide and would be as out of place as well.
What I am thinking of is making another control that would duplicate the looks of factory setup using same hole and bezel. As you see, the space is rather narrow. The original control is nothing more than a single shaft of picture 1 about 3 inches long sticking thru the dash with the knob and bezel on one end and rheostat on other.
Am thinking of making a support for a mechanism and with the use of 2,3, 4 and a spring have the knob turn as regular for on/off & speed and then by pulling knob out a bit disengage with one gear and mesh with another spur gear and turn another shaft for temp. The actual controls would be mounted on the defroster underside just as the rheostat is now. At least that's the plan. One thing not sure about is how to indicate a temp or if it would even be necessary.
Have too many projects so sometimes my ideas take a while to have the mood to make something match the need to have.
