It would be a semi-permanent thing, not controllable from the switches, which are dead anyway if you have thrown away the piece of junk servo.

I too am considering this change, if I can get my blower working again. I'd be interested in whether anyone here has wedged their vents and how they did it.

Good luck.
Provided you don't have a vacuum leak(s), you can study the diagrams, connect the vacuum hoses you need at the servo valve, and energize the correct solenoid behind the dash to open whatever valves you want...

I'm simply too tired to look at it, so your on your own on this one...

ps: been doing this type of work on a R107 for a while to help a friend in need, so "sick and tired" is more likely a better euphemism...
