Outstanding String.

I just checked Lambostuff and they are available.......  Even relatively cheap given it is Lambo.  $32. Let's see what shipping ends up costing..... and I will order one for reference

Thanks very much
Don

Forgot to say that Riceburner did an HVAC for the Diablos so a different face.  He originally made one for the 355 Ferraris (I helped him by taking his first unit and fitting it into the centre console of my project). His main circuitry was for a Fiero as well but I think he redid the programming for other units as well.  He did great work but I think he is out of it now.

Cheers
Don

As another angle - the diablo circa 1998 uses the same controller and for whatever reason , the buttons are available separately , eg . 006027080 , one button purchase would give dimensions and exactly what you get ie. switch and button , then would seem better value. ::pirate

Duh....  I can get access to an oem 25th Anniversary centre console piece.  The 25th, I believe is the same centre console shape, just different equipment in the locations.....  I had Cliff Miller build me a full interior (which I then sold before getting this latest proejct..... ::duh) The guy that bought the project is local to me so i can go to his place and take measurements and pictures so we can work backwards from there....

Even if we are close but it looks good and fits in the right place, I am OK with that.

More to come.

Thanks
Don

Thanks Guys, So I guess its between all of us to try and come up with something, I am looking hard at the controller in my mitzi gto tt and have a spare which I disassembled, this unit is a colour display and measures 75 wide and 55 high and very nice looking only problem is buttons are in the wrong place but they just are contacts on a pcb  and could be changed to remote switches but its two wide, bigger than a standard din,  but it could with  some work be grafted into another front panel and the buttons rearranged, but without the dimensions  cant go there. Even the heater unit is a good size to fit under the dash and as its a two door coup will have enough air to demist a countach screen. So if some one has the measurements that would be great, I did also hear of a guy called riceburner who made one, I don't know if it looked original, but have not been able to track him down I think he was on KC
Does anyone have the dimensions of the console ie the space that the controller sits in between the bolsters each side of the centre console if I had that measurement I could scale it backwards from photos. also found a better pic I had salted away.
