    Roof Console Fitment?

    Hi All,

    A little while ago I got my hands on a roof console for a RRC.
    The first thing I had wondered was how they mount up to the roof.

    Now I did do some searching on the forum & found a few topics, but for the RRC, there didn't seem to be a answer. Now what I did read is some riveted to the roof...... not really what I want to do - aka holes in the roof.

    The liner is also in smick condition, so I didn't really want saggy bits after either

    so... ideas?? Some pics are below. I was just out at the rangie feeling for ribs or something in the roof but couldn't feel any.



    The console in question:

    Looks like a hand made console Razzor


    There are ribs under that roof lining
    Where the interior lights are .... Take the plastic lens out .. undo the screws holding the light in and you will see it

    It goes in a left / right direction .... (handgrip handle on roof to the other handgrip handle on driver side)



    Also you will find another rib following the top of the windscreen

    Undo all the sunvisor & mirror screws to drop a section the hood lining down to find it

    I found these photo's compliments of Walker

    You can Just see a rib that runs along the very front just behind the windscreen and Im pretty sure there is one where the interior light is from memory of seeing a bare roof at my mates workshop.

    Awesome, Thank you guys for the info. Now I know what to look for

    I am guessing the ribs sit a little lower then the actual roof & you screw / rivet in to these?

    thanks mate!! That's even better!!

    So now all I have to decide is how to get the rails up there nice & tight & so they don't come loose.

    So.... what would you guys do>? Rivet? Self taped screws? House mate reckons rivet & use something to stop it rattling like bodydeadner

    Here ya go mate.

    First pic is the mirror mount and the upper windscreen bar where you can screw or pop rivet your console to. Those holes are for the roof mounting screws.



    And this is the roof brace above the interior light, it is about 1inch from the roof so use short screws or pop rivets to mount the console.
