Thats really neat. Almost looks factory.

Looks great. Many say velcro but yea unsure.
I like the lip in the gap, but yea factory bolts that would be a prick. .

I had both in my GQ, dash pod & roof console
while I never hit my head, some passengers always did
like Sharky's early one, mine was a Dept. of the Interiors Dash Pod
unlike Sharky, I never had a problem with the bolts near the windscreen
and
I had the cables go through the same hole as the right hand bolt (made it more interesting trying to get it in or out for mods)

I had a clock and an Inclinometer in mine,a as the UHF was in the roof console

Yeah I probably prefer your console than mine, Although great storage but I hit my head on mine a lot.

Westy I took a pic of where I ran wires/cables for top mounted radio. I could get a good enough pic of other wires/cables coming into the back of console, Sorry best pic I could get
