WTB: Climate ST205 Control Unit Options

[jcagle]

This is a bit of a tall order, but does anyone know where I could find a LHD ST205 climate control unit? Thanks in advance if you have any information.

To make it work on the ST / GT - it would take ALOT of wiring, cuz it has totaly different sensors system + all the heater core is controled by motors, and not by simple metal bars. Another thing - cars equiped with Climate control have heat sensor witch sits on top of the dash that messures heat from outside and have sensor witch messures heat inside of the interior. Even havin all the needed wiring - i think it would be basicly imposible to make it work in car without climate control, cuz most of the wiring is integrated in the dash / engine / surrounding wiring.

Theres alot of work even then im converting from RHD to LHD to make the non climate control LHD heater cores to have the motor controls units, to run all the wiring and etc, lots of parts need to be custom made and so on...

It looked awful intimidating at a first glance, but I looked both systems over inside and out for a long while before doing any work on it. All of the sensors and wiring can be swapped with minimal fabrication (just precise cutting) and a fair amount of effort. It's been since August, but I think it was 1-2 full days worth of work (including preliminary assessment) on the climate control system. Now every sensor, motor, fan and other electrical device off the GT4 are in my car, and every wire has a mate. The tricky part which requires fabrication comes in when dealing with one of two stepper motors located directly underneath the central vent box. It does not exist in the US version, but there are reinforced mounted holes in the right spots, just bass ackwards from the RHD version. So, it was my hope to find at least the LHD Auto climate control box (thanks for the information btw, it explains conclusively why a several month search has yielded no result) allowing me to determine the nature of how it controls the stepper motors at which point custom a mounting bracket and most likely connecting arm can be fabricated. Unfortunately, the half-cut I purchased (and now my car) was wired for a climate control unit with two plugs in back, and the climate control unit I purchased (shortly after the clip from the same person) was the standard 1-plug variation. So that's my predicament.

You can easily adapt RHD climate control box without major problems, but this would requer some cutting on interior plastics, + no need of fabricating any mounting legs, cuz you can just glue your climate control box to the center dash piece, but it will not slide in to the dash cuz it will be hitting some mounts right behing the center dash piece...

As for the stepper motors - stepper motor witch controls position of the air - its totaly the same as RHD core motor, the only tricky part is to mount the cold / hot motor - witch requers some custom mounting + you will need to mount metal bar witch opens / close hot / cold collant. That there you will need to turn your head on
