    My roof console

    I'm having a go at making a console. The pics and topic are from my phone so here's hoping.

    Looks like its loaded.
    It's made from 6mm customwood and will be upholstered when ready.

    The front has recesses for the visors and small storage pockets each side.

    The "T" has a pocket on the passenger side, and a void for cabling on the drivers.

    A stainless panel will look after all the switches etc.

    The UHF remote head sits where the two parts meet.

    Fuses & UHF radio itself are in the void between the visors. It hinges from the front for access.

    Going to take a while but will tidy things up for sure.

    Looks great had an overhead console in the "other" 4x4x and found it needed netting across the front.
    Stuff was bouncing out all the time, It was fitted inside with elastic top and bottom,
    hate to see you lose your wallet if ever you stored it up there M2cW

    John I did plan to fit some sort of net with shock cord around it, the front pockets have no lip so head up a hill and it will all end up on my lap!!!

    Any ideas of suppliers gratefully accepted.

    Having trouble finding some map / courtesy lights if you have any ideas. Was going to the auto wreckers tomorrow, they might have something.
    Cheers

    I used cargo nets off seat pockets from 737, my mates work at "Q" mart,
    but a spring loaded flap might work as well,

    Impressively neat looking job Macca, but I reckon some well padded upholstery might needed in the vicinity of the Macca bonce!
    Btw, someone has to tell you.......... you have your priorities all wrong, instead of spending your time constructing el neato consoles you should be composing stories of your adventures to go with all the pics I'm sure you'll be posting for our delectation in the not too distant future.
