• Robust construction. Suitably durable for "off road" driving. Manufactured from steel and hardwood plywood - NO PLASTIC.
• The shape of the base of the console can be custom made to suit your radio(s) and other requirements.
• Radio holes and storage openings etc. cut to suit your requirements and accessories.
• Designed for maximum headroom without interfering with the sunvisors or any other functions of the vehicle.
• Upholstered in a vinyl or velour finish.
• A vacuum formed finish is also available for this roof console. This is a foam backed, heat shrunk, one wrap (no seams) finish similar to the finish of the dashboard. For prices click here.
• Removal of the genuine spectacle / map light 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 original spectacle holder / map light assembly can be refitted to our console if required.
• Six 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 that is covered by the spectacle holder / map light assembly. The four rear mounting screws for the console are attached to the steel turret support channels under the hood lining.
• For mounting purposes this console comes complete with a removable speaker grill fitted to the base of the front housing.
• 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 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.

FITTING INSTRUCTIONS:

Introduction. Six 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 that is covered by the spectacle holder / map light assembly. The four rear mounting screws for the console are attached to two of the steel turret supports that are 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 neatly fits the profile of the hood lining and 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 centering the console, use a pencil to mark the position of the console’s four rear mounting points onto the hood lining.

Step 4. Drill two holes for the front mounting screws while the console is held in position. Use a long series 5/32” dia drill bit to drill the holes into the steel panel inside the hole in the hood lining, in line with the two holes at the front of the console. (see Figure 1)

Step 5. Remove the console out of position, then using a scriber or similar, make four holes in the hood lining in line with the four pencil marks. Before drilling any holes, check that your pencil marks are in line with the centre of each channel by pushing the scriber through the hood lining then moving the point around to feel for the position of each channel. (see Figure 2)

This photo shows the inside of the turret with the hood lining removed. The two arrows indicate the two turret support channels that are utilised to mount the back of the console.

Step 6. The holes for four rear mounting screws must now be drilled. Drill four 1/8” dia holes in line with your pencil marks through the hood lining and 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 7. 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 8. 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. The wiring loom for the spectacle holder / map light assembly will need to be extended.

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. Coil up any excess wire while lifting the console into position. If you are fitting the spectacle holder / map light assembly into the console, connect the wiring plug. Press the console firmly onto the hood lining.

Step 11. Attach the front of the console to the vehicle using the two 75mm long screws and the two large washers provided in the fitting kit.

Step 12. Attach the rear of the console to the vehicle using the four 30mm long screws and the four washers provided in the fitting kit.

Step 13. Fit the spectacle holder / map light assembly into the console. Position the assembly over the hole on the base of the console. Secure the assembly in position by aligning the four Christmas tree plugs on the assembly with the four holes in the console.

Step 14. Fit the speaker grill back onto the front of the console.
