the easiest solution to relocate you climate control for 2din display
I really don't like the relocation of climate controller, it doesn't look OEM at all, it's best just upgrade to JDM climate control, I know it's more complicated but looks way better.

I'm defiantlly going to experiment with this. I've been trying to find a way to make space for my Tanabe TEAS and Apexi Turbo Timer along with a switch panel. I think I can use the double din with a faceplate, mount the gauges at the top, switches in the middle, and my TEAS controller on the bottom.
I have been researching the climate relocation for some time now: Seems to be 3 options:
1. Galant Climate Control: requires rewiring, and loss of Max AC
2. Orbital Relocation: Expensive, and hard/impossible to find now.
3. This option: Pardon my opinion, but its kind of a hacked look.
However, I think you are on the right track. The only thing I don't like is that the indicators are clearly too large for the DIN slot, and the edges are rough. This gives me an idea though:
1. Use the stock climate control (keep max ac/stock wiring)
2. Use the radio relocation Kit, and Modify the brackets as shown.
3. Create a new faceplate, perhaps laser cut from aluminum, ABS, or CF?
4. Could someone design smaller diameter indicators using a vinal cut machine? Overlay it on the new faceplate?
Any thoughts?

started this trend to give you guys an idea on what i did and said not to make the same mistake i did on the cutting of the panel the tittle said the easiest way to relocate the climate control after all. Other than that is all up to you.
