In the Single Cab the rear bracket is attached to one of the holes for a Christmas tree stud. The interior light re-mounts into a pre cut hole in the console.
• Designed so the radio curly cords are out of view.

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.

Below 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.

Cut off the plug with a sharp knife.

Step 5. 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 6. Fit the genuine interior light to the console. Firstly, cut out the vinyl covering the hole in the plywood for the interior light. Place the interior light on the base of the console, covering the hole with the switch facing the driver’s side of the console. Ensure that the interior light is sitting flush on the console and in the centre of the console. Using two of the 20mm self tapping screws supplied with the “console fitting kit”, screw the interior light onto the console. If the interior light is not sitting flush on the console, drill two additional screw holes in the base of the light – two extra 20mm screws have been provided.

Step 7. Open the “console fitting kit”. Remove the earth wire for the interior light. Attach this wire to the vehicle using one of the genuine interior light screws.

Step 8. 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.

Step 9. Place the console on the seat. Connect the wiring and check that the radio(s) and accessories are operational before installing the console.

Step 10. There are two plastic plugs provided in the “console fitting kit”. Fit these plugs into the square holes that were exposed after removing the two sun visor clips.

Step 11. Coil up any excess wire while lifting the console into position. Thread the interior light wire down through the hole in the console for the interior light. Press the console firmly onto the hood lining. Ensure that all three mounting points line up with the screw holes in the vehicle.

Step 12. Using the two 30mm screws in the “console fitting kit”, attach the sunvisors back into the original position. Do not tighten the screws yet. This will allow the back of the console to move enough to line up the rear mounting screw hole.

Step 13. Using the 18mm 14 gauge self tapping screw and the snap cap supplied in the “console fitting kit”, screw the back of the console to the Christmas tree stud hole.

Step 14. Connect the interior light wiring plug, then run the earth wire through the hole in the interior light. Use one of the mounting screws to connect the earth wire to one of the earth contact points on the interior light. Position the earth wire so it won’t be affected by the heat generated from the interior light globe.
