Should have thought of that

Thanks mate

Below are photos of my MUD centre console installation/mountings and the MUD Pod that's yet to be fitted. As you can see the console is a work in progress with plenty of real estate yet to be utilised. I haven't even refitted the windscreen wiper switch yet.

All that holds the metal bracket in place is 4 screws along the back (the instruction only had 2 but I added a couple). Once the Console is mounted there are another couple of screws that go into the underside of the dash just above the fuse box. Note: The bright piece of bent ally in the centre with the rubber grommet on a tab is the rear mounting for the radio.











On the MUD Pod below, the two centre tabs on the ally base bend down into the ash tray hole which gives you the option of mounting it without screw holes so it can be removed and refitted to another Landie.






If you have any more questions or want more pics just ask.

Cheers, Iain

my console, if they are done right the consoles look original. the pod on the other hand.... but still looks reasonable.

I like more the gauges on the console. There is plenty room left to fit 3 gauges there.

Did you drill and screw the Pod into the top of the dashboard or did you just use the adhesive pads and the ashtray mount? I'm interested in how firmly it holds if you didn't screw it down.

neither, i didn't screw it down, just never got around to it. I have found that after some serious 4wding it moves maybe 5mm sideways so stuff all. The tabs that bend around hold it in pretty well.

Good day


Hope this one helps...

After a no show on the MUD console

I decided bugger it. About a fortnight ago I poured out all the Rice Bubbles, pinched the cardboard packaging and began making the template.

And now today I cut it all out of alloy and folded it up

So far it's cost me a Rice Bubbles packet, and diesel to get to the Alloy welder for some scrap

I hope to have the CD player, TM-2 and EGT Gauge holes cut out this weekend, then it will go in for powdercoating next week





Many thanks to Peter (rar110), I did use those drawings to make up the side plates
