I've been trying to find the best place to fit a brake controller on my Patrol without it being obtrusive and getting in the way of my knees when I get in and out of the vehicle! (I'm 6' 4" tall and I eat 5 weet-bix for my breakfast) ...I've seen a couple of pics with controllers fitted under the heater/blower controls, but on a manual Patrol and on an earlier model..Any suggestions or pics appreciated please!!
Thanks in advance.
put in the pocket in the drivers door
I put mine above my left knee but it’s still a bit of a nuisance as i'm 6' 1". Will be interested in other options.
cheers
just had a look at my neighbours and his on the left hand side above your knee bot his unit is slimline
60 mm long ,20mm wide, 20 mm depth.
Mine is in the same place. Problem is - you have to be able to get to it to manually to apply the trailer brakes if required. This limits where it can go.Quote:

I'll try eating fewer weet-bix :)
Mine is same as most, above the left knee but being an auto you don't move the left leg alot.
I did cut the bracket down and drill new holes along with trimming the little plastic clip on top of the unit to get it as flush as possible. I had thought of cutting into the panels to mount but thought that was a bit drastic.Quote:
