| 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

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
