Classic or later model?

If Classic, passenger and driver vents pull out of dash panel.

Centre vents - couple of screws near to the three knobs and dials - then the whole section comes out (a few wires connected so don't pull too hard).

Very straightforward if you have a bit of patience.

I will post a few pictures tomorrow as I have just replaced the heater panel colours on my classic.

Pictures say a thousand words!
