Your centre roof console will be designed to suit your specific model vehicle. It will neatly follow the contours of your hoodlining and will be the ideal width to suit the distance between your sunvisors. The length of the console takes into account the mounting system for the console, the shape of the cabin and when applicable, headroom for the rear seat passengers. When calculating the depth of the console we allow for maximum headroom and a clear view for the rear vision mirror. As no two model vehicles are the same our "vehicle specific" consoles are the best available.

In addition to being "vehicle specific" we also "custom build" each console to suit your requirements - nobody else does that! We adjust the shape of the base of the console to suit your radio(s) storage or lighting requirements. When custom building your console we can build a slim line console for maximum headroom or a deeper console for maximum storage. We can make the console's radio housing(s) as small as your radio(s) will allow providing more headroom and moving your radio(s) closer to the windscreen for better access. Another advantage of this versatility of design, most modern radios have a LCD (liquid crystal display) screen. It is easier to read the LCD when you are looking square onto the screen. Whenever possible, we change the angle on the console's facia panel to suit the radio being fitted.

To the left are some sketches to show you some of the possible variations available for centre roof consoles.

MICROPHONE CURLY CORD RETAINER

A piece of "one wrap" hook and loop tape is supplied with each roof console (one retainer for each radio) to prevent your microphone curly cord from dangling and blocking your view. Simply screw this retainer onto the console in a suitable position between the radio and the microphone clip, then wrap the tape around the curly cord. If you need the full length of the curly cord, the "one wrap" tape is easy to release and re-attach.

FITTING INSTRUCTIONS:

Introduction: Four holes must be drilled into the vehicle to fit this console. The two front mounting screws for the console are attached to the steel panel above the front windscreen. These two holes are covered by the sunvisor mounting brackets. The two rear mounting screws for the console are attached to the steel channel that is covered by the interior light. The interior light is re-mounted into a pre-cut hole in the base of the console. All wiring can be installed without drilling any holes or cutting the trim.

Step 1. Remove the interior light and the inside screw on each sunvisor.

Step 2. Hold the console into position to check the fit. Make sure you have received the correct console, in good order, before cutting any holes in the console.

Step 3. If your console has a *S.A.O remove the carpet on the base of the storage area.

Step 4. Fit your radio(s) and accessories into the console - see the "instructions on installing a radio into a console" and the "radio fitting kit" supplied with the console.

Step 5. Prepare the roof console to accept the genuine interior light. Firstly, cut out the vinyl covering the hole in the plywood for the interior light. The vinyl should be cut 6mm inside the edge of the hole to allow a clear view when screwing the console into position. This hole is covered by the base of the light, cutting this hole will not effect the upholstered finish. Place the interior light on the base of the console covering the hole. When fitting the interior light, discard the black plastic base. Push the plastic lug at the front of the light into the slot in the console. Using the two 16mm screws in the fitting kit, attach the back of the light to the console utilising the two holes in the back of the interior light. Remove the interior light from the console to allow access to the consoles rear mounting screw holes. It is now a simple procedure to re-mount the interior light after the console is fitted.

Step 6. Install the wiring and aerial lead(s) before fitting the console. Be sure to leave enough spare wire to reach down the seat. This will make it easier to connect your wiring to the radio(s) before fitting the console. The excess wire can be coiled up inside the console.

Step 7. Place the console on the seat. Connect the wiring and check that the radio(s) accessories are operational before installing the console. If your console has a *S.A.O you may wish to position your wiring or fuses at the back of the console to allow easy access without removing the console.

*S.A.O. - Storage/Access Opening.
An oval shaped hole with an elasticized vinyl flap. The flap keeps the stored items in and most of the red dust out. The S.A.O. also allows access to fuses or to V.S.W.R. in a radio.

Step 8. Coil up any excess wire while lifting the console into position. Thread the interior light wire down through the hole in the console's wooden spacer. Press the console firmly onto the hood lining.

Step 9. Hold the console in position make sure the console is sitting flush with the hood lining and make sure the console is centred between the sunvisors. Drill two 1/8" dia holes for the front mounting screws while the console is held in position.

Step 10. Attach the front of the console to the vehicle using the two 25mm countersunk head screws provided in the kit.

Step 11. Drill two 1/8" dia holes into the steel channel for the rear mounting screws in line with the two holes in the console's rear mounting spacer.

Step 12. Attach the rear of the console to the vehicle using the two 50mm long screws and the two washers provided in the fitting kit.

Step 13. Connect the interior light wiring plug, then fit the interior light onto the base of the console.

Step 14. Adjust the shape of the base of the plastic sun visor mounting feet to fit over the console's mounting bracket. Due to the thickness of the console's bracket, the base of the sun visor feet must be modified to allow the feet to sit flat. As shown in the photograph, cut one side of the base of each sun visor foot. Also, a small piece of plywood has been provided to pack up one side of each sun visor foot. The genuine screws for the sun visor feet are not long enough to mount the console - two 25mm 8 gauge screws have been provided in the console fitting kit.

Step 15. If your console has a *S.A.O replace the carpet inside the storage area.

*S.A.O. - Storage/Access Opening.
An oval shaped hole with an elasticized vinyl flap. The flap keeps the stored items in and most of the red dust out. The S.A.O. also allows access to fuses or to V.S.W.R. in a radio.
