    Heater Control Conversion

    in The Garage

    Posted · Edited by PATHRIDER

    I just hope its not going to cost much, seems that all the mods ive been thinking of doing lately would cost more than just going with the simple route

     

    Those heater controls may it be manual or vacuum are always plentiful at the jy here..Im crossing my finger that it would be an easy swap

    Thanks bud..Sounds like a lot of work ..Im going to spend some time at the JY next week and tear apart one of the donor in there.Seems that nobody picks those control anyways

     

    Everything youve mentioned could be whats needed and some..Ive noticed also on those vacuum assisted heater controls that they have auto climate sensing but I could be wrong

    I run cannon on all my pathy and very happy with them. I used to have cannon (weathertech)that ive used for a good 8 years..Had it on 2 different cars

     

    They do have lifetime warranty. I usually hose mine every 2 weeks in the winter time ( in the basement ofcourse) and every month in the summer..Hang em up and spray some tire shine on it..works like a charm

     

    btw you can always get a rear carpet thats in great shape at the jy

    Hey guys is it possible to convert the manual heater control levers to one of those vacuum assisted heater control with buttons?

     

    Ive been thinking of doing this for as long time but not quite sure how to go about doing it. I know its probably not going to gain me any extra horsepower but just like the look of the buttons instead of the lever..lol

     

     

    Has anyone done this mod before?

     

    Thanks fellas

    First time I seen one on the cig ligher. I seen them on the battery tho. All they really are is a capacitor.

    They DO cut down on electronic noise and everything will run better with less EMI interference. So obviously everone needs one.

     

     

    I use a capacitor and my engine has been notiably better since it went in. Its protecting my MSD ignition box that went in at the same time and it must be whats giving me smoother power aplication too lol

    is it a flux capacitor?

    Mine was like that also when I got em, fortunately enough I was at a shop that pressed out my old bushings to get the spindle and I had them install the spindle on the new uca and found out right there that the sleeves are longer. the guy just ground it down and if fits perfect

    Rear springs

    Spring mounted on a pathy ..We think that this is a rear spring off of a 96 discovery..It looks like its not seated straight but it is.Just from the angle when I took the shot.

    another thing I forgot to mention is that the springs on the disco being bigger in diameter the factory cup or perch has to be utilized. 2 14 mm bolt is holding it in place. when installed that disco factory perch would sit on our pathys factory perch perfectly and gives it another inch of lift

    He also pulled another right hand springs but the back ones looks a heck of a lot beafier so I told him to hold off on those 2 right springs ...I want to try the back springs first which I think is better than the 2 front right..I just hope that the back springs arent in 2 different sizes also but looking at it still in the rig it doesnt look like it is...the fronts are easily noticeable that theyre 2 different sizes

     

    Good thing he has his truck that day for comparison

    I just hope the springs are going to be much better than the JGC or f150 springs coz it cost 34 bux a piece. Cant find a land rover at pull and save for a donor.

    Hey guys sorry for the late update on this thread...I just got back from the jy and the dude that told me about this spring option was mistaken. He pulled out both front springs on a 96 land rover discovery and to his surprise the left side was shorter than the right and skinnier. I went out in the yard with him and looked at all the land rovers from 96-2000 and sure enough they do have skinnier springs on the drivers side than the passenger. So while he was scratching his head I asked im if could it be possible that the previous owner of that rig whre he pulled the springs out of used rear springs for the front instead of the original front coz I was looking at the rear springs and it looks more like what he had in his pathy. He swear that it came out of a 96 and both front.Hes also thinking that it might be an aftermarket springs

    I was short for time so I told him that ill come back wednesday and call them in advance and have him pull the rear springs out so we can measure it.

     

    I will keep you guys posted on this project

    Welcome to the Forum WAVEY

     

    That beast looks cherry, looks like it just rolled out of the showroom floor looking from the side...One thing I noticed though is the manual winndow crank?..I didnt know 94 came with no power option.

     

    Thats the second pathy ive seen with that tire carrier. I like that better than the factory. I saw one at the JY before and I was going to pull it but the darn thing was rusted bad . Can you maybe take measurements of it when you take em off to paint it...you are going to paint that carrier right? :jig:
