• Four holes must be drilled into the vehicle to fit this console. The two front mounting screws for the console are attached to a steel channel under the spectacle holder / map light assembly. The two rear mounting screws for the console are attached to a turret support channel in the centre of the roof that is covered by the hoodlining. All wiring can be installed without drilling any holes or cutting the trim.
• Removal of the genuine spectacle holder / maplight assembly reveals an opening in the hoodlining, our consoles have been designed to take advantage of this opening. The radio fitted into the front of the console can protrude past the top of the console, sitting in the space between the hoodlining and the turret. This design allows the console to be less intrusive and allows the front radio to sit further forward making it easier to see and operate. The genuine spectacle holder / maplight assembly is remounted into a precut hole in the rear of the console.
• Some dual cabs from March 2008 on have a bluetooth microphone fitted into the hoodlining. Our console willcover this microphone. If required, we can cut a hole in the console to re-mount this microphone.
• Designed so the radio curly cords are out of view.
• We manufacture our consoles in weekly batches. If we receive an order by Monday 5:30pm Sydney time your console will be dispatched on the following Friday. The dispatch date can vary if there is a public holiday.
• Professional fitting service available.

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.

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 a steel channel under the spectacle holder / map light assembly. The two rear mounting screws for the console are attached to a turret support channel in the centre of the roof that is covered by the hood lining. All wiring can be installed without drilling any holes or cutting the trim.

Step 1 - Remove the spectacle holder / map light assembly.

Step 2 - Remove the speaker grill fitted to the front of the console.

Step 3 - Hold the console in position to check the fit. Make sure you have received the correct console, in good order, before cutting any holes in the console. Make sure the console is sitting exactly in the centre of the roof. At the front of the console, measure the distance between each sun visor and the console. At the back of the console, measure from each side of the console to each side of the vehicle. After centring the console, use a scriber to mark the position of the console's four mounting points. See photo no. 1 showing the position of the two front mounting screws.

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 - If you are fitting the spectacle holder / map light assembly back into the console, prepare this assembly for fitting. Drill two 5mm (3/16") holes in the plastic housing as shown in photo no. 2. There are two black self tapping screws supplied in the fitting kit. Using these screws attach the assembly onto the console. Remove the assembly from the console to allow access to the consoles rear mounting screw holes. It is now a simple procedure to re-mount the assembly 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 to 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. If you are fitting the spectacle holder / map light assembly into the console you will need to extend the wiring loom for the map lights.

Step 7 - Holes for the four mounting points must now be drilled into the vehicle. The two front mounting points line up with the steel channel above the windscreen. The two back mounting points line up with one of the turret support channels under the hood lining. In line with your pencil marks, drill four 3mm (9/64") holes through ONE LAYER of steel. Be careful not to push the drill bit through the first layer of steel and onto the turret. (There is a small space between the steel channels and the turret in the places the holes are being drilled).

Step 8 - Place the console on the seat. Connect the wiring and check that the radio(s) and accessories are operational before installing the console.

Step 9 - Coil up any excess wire while lifting the console into position. Press the console firmly onto the hood lining. Ensure that all four mounting points are lined up with the screw holes in the vehicle.

Step 10 - Attach the front of the console to the vehicle using the two 75mm
12 gauge self tapping screws and two washers supplied. Do not tighten these screws yet, this will allow the back of the console to move enough to line up the rear mounting screw holes.

Step 11 - Using the two 30mm 12 gauge self-tapping screws and two washers, attach the back of the console to the remaining mounting points.

Step 12 - Tighten the front mounting screws.

Step 13 - Re-attach the front speaker grill and if applicable the spectacle / map light assembly.
