It came in two boxes and is a big jigsaw puzzle. Does any one have any drawings or wiring diagrams for it. Under bonnet photos would be great if any one can help.

Send me an Email at qute at old holden dot com with the usual changes and no spaces. Cheers...Dave

Make sure you pull the left fender and inner guard off or you will have a lot of trouble fitting it. Also make sure you get the control cables as they are different on the air con model

There are also the holes to run the cond

Any idea whether I can use to WB controller or whether I have to adapt the W

If the ute/van controller fits easily go that way. If it doesn't, the only difference between the Statesman unit & the commercial unit is that the Statesman one has the bi-level provision with 2 diaphragms for face level instead of only 1.

They are only little but can cause major rust problems if not treated correctly. When you pull out the non-air plastic air vents that bolt up under the plenum, these are only held in by two screws.

Byron...when I put the WB aircon into the HQ, the right hand side blanking plate had 3 holes not 2 (although it is a 6/74 HQ if that makes a difference...) Cheers
