[macca]

For ideas only,,,, some strip Led would fit well on the upper inside edge.

TD you are on to me as well, have some strips about 400mm long left over from a job that I was thinking of using, you blokes are good LOL

mate get some 3 in 1 water based primer from bunnings brush it on. 3 coats should do it let it dry in the sun a few days. sand it back with 240-360 white sand paper then re bog what needs to be done. Prime sand again then lay some coats of color on it. Bit of stuffing around but its worth the effort.

Ok I was thinking a grey carpet, but you've sold me on the paint..

Also what points have you used to anchor the console up?
I know the rails in the wagon roof are like unistrut so a small plate can be slid in and tightened to.
Some use the light mount, but I would this would be a little weak..

Westy I have put rivnuts where the mirror was and the visor clips so 4 5mm bolts in the front. Rivnuts where the light was looks after the rear. Aluminium angle bolts to the roof and hinges or over center latches attach to that Then some small bungees on each side of the shelf at the grab handle front bolts area.

Need an update , Idea #67 what about a textured paint or cover with vinyl
just need update and more pics, carpet is so 80s lol
Gotta love those rivnuts, as my BFF from airport says slightly squash and they then become
lock nuts

I have gone with matt black paint and a moulded rubber around the "head but" edges.
Most of the thing is not seen and as no direct light shines on it, it looks fine with just a coat of paint.
Get some pics after www tonight maybe, at the wiring stage now
