    Kinda makes my little project fade in comparison.
    Wanted somewhere to mount a small meter without making holes in existing panels, so ended up making this.
    Its 3D printed and fits in place of the blanking panel in the overhead console.meterframe.jpg

    It shouldn't mate, any project large or small is great practice! I'm no expert or even close to it... if you apply a bit more body work to it and sand you'll be apples!
    Love where your switches are. Great spot.

    Thats awesome. I have a bit of OCD though and not being centered would shit me to tears. Small things. Why didnt you centre it?

    Also what are you doing about the heater controls?

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    Hey mate, in a way it is you just can't see it. The iPad mould was made so i can slide it in and out. You should be able to see it in the mould picture as to what i mean.

    What do you mean about the heater controls? Hopefully be trying to mount this today after i the resin drys and i touch it up a bit.

    Cheers mate, sorry i missed the pic showing you moved the heater controls to where the stereo would normally go.

    What will you do for music? Through the ipad straight to an amp or something?

    Great job mate

    All good... Bluetooth to the single din head deck to amp / speakers.

    Tried test fit on weekend and need to modify a couple of things.

    Will update as I go.

    Was able to get a little more done on the weekend after needing to redo the bottom bit as measurements were off... :/
    Mounted the Air con unit where I need it to go.

    Now just to glue it in place sand / paint / repeat...

    Hoping to have this complete this week installed and working

    Got the mounting points sorted this afternoon!
    Bracing was used to make mounting points.

    Here’s where it’s at so far...

    Finally got the Air Con Unit in the spot needed, had to shorten the cable to it though and drill a hole for the wire to pass through so it didn't restrict the movement.
    pulled apart a usb car charger and wire it up to be permanently sitting behind the Ipad on and wired on ACC.
    Ill probably be redoing the shroud around the CD player, air con unit and cut out the holes for the rocker switches.

    Video below showing it installed and fully functional.

    i use an ipad while touring for my Hema. unless this will be your daily driver and the iPad is constantly charged i would consider rewiring that usb to be on constant charge from the battery , fused it would be fine and the draw would be negligible. nothing worse than getting in your car and having to wait for the ipad to charge before you can use it.
