robhybrid Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Lunch time today I had this:- And this evening I have this:- The idea is that I will have something to support the gear lever display thing, and have created a large cubby box with two small cubby holes either side of the gear lever. I am no good with wood (unless it means pulling trees down) so I have made my center console out of mild steel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark90 Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Nice work Rob. Wanna make two? it's far better than this.... PS I voted for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will_warne Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 That's smart, Rob. It might be worth raising the shifter slightly so the plastis pannel sits a little higher up. Its a good move not using wood, it tends to turn into a soggy mess after a few dunkings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Glebitts Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 This was how I did mine many moons ago...... Got an LSE console from Sodbury and used ally angle for the frame and brushed ally for the top and the CB housing. The window switches got used for the winch controls. It took bluddy ages!!!!!! Where are you now??? Last I heard Tim had it after Steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveG Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 It took bluddy ages!!!!!!Where are you now??? Last I heard Tim had it after Steve. No it was scrapped and sold for parts - the ergonomics were too flawed to keep driving it! Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No decision on what to do/no parts/no money..........No interest Come on les I thought you had great plans for improving the leg room in your vehicle.

Do you want the oil seal that fitts next to it as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be worth raising the shifter slightly so the plastis pannel sits a little higher up.Its a good move not using wood, it tends to turn into a soggy mess after a few dunkings The plan with the shifter low and the shape of the console is that I can slide over it if I need to get out of the passenger side, or if the passenger needs to get out oof the driver's side for any reason. I have needed to slide from one side to the other several times during challenge tupe events in the past Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
