The above evaporator is available from both Ashdowns and Lovelocks. They can also be bought with square vents and the controls fitted in the front. Also there is one slightly smaller than the one pictured as well.

I got it from a place called Factory Air in Perth, it comes with the controls and I used some 50mm round flexi pipe to run to the vents, I made my own control surrounds. I also used a vaccuum gate from a Falcon on the heater hose, I then bought an electric vaccuum switch so on the dash I put a switch that leaves the gate shut (with the blue line above it) when i switch it to A/C it still keeps the gate shut, then when it is switched to the heat it turns the A/C off and opens the gate. So there is no ajustment for heat, it is on or off no in between.

The centre hot to cold dial is just for the A/C, but I never move it
