Fitting
Instructions:
This
console can be fitted to the vehicle without drilling any
holes, by utilising the rear vision mirror and the grab handle
mounting screws. In some cases, the two rear vision mirror
mounting screws were overtightened when the vehicle was manufactured.
If it is difficult to remove these screws with a screwdriver
we suggest you remove them by gripping the outside of the
screw head with a pair of side cutters. The captive nuts for
the rear vision mirror were located in two different positions,
depending on the year model of the Troopcarrier. The mounting
bracket on the front of the console has four holes to accommodate
both positions for these captive nuts.
PLEASE
NOTE: If you are installing a large number of radios or
heavy equipment onto your shelf, we recommend that you fit
the two additional self tapping screws provided in the "console
fitting kit". Each of the console's side mounting brackets
have a hole that is covered by the vinyl trim. If required,
puncture the vinyl covering these holes before fitting the
console. After completing step 9 drill two 1/8" diameter
holes into the body of the vehicle and fit the two self tapping
screws provided.Snap caps have been provided to place over
the head of each screw for a neat appearance.

Step
2. Remove the rear vision mirror by sliding off the plastic
mirror base and removing the two threaded screws.
Step

the console using the mounting kits supplied with those units.
Step
7. Place the console in position and secure it by replacing
the passenger's side grab handle and by attaching the 6mm
x 20mm threaded screw supplied in the "console fitting
kit" to the driver's side captive nut.Do not tighten
these screws until the front of the console has been secured
in position.
Step
8. Lift the front of the console as high as possible until
two of the four holes in the mounting bracket line up with
the two captive nuts for the rear vision mirror. Hold the
front of the console in position by re-attaching the rear
vision mirror over the console mounting bracket.
