    Looking to borrow a centre console

    Hey folks,

    Does anyone have a spare centre console panel? - the top piece with the switches and clock in it.

    Looking to borrow for a month or so. Ideally located in the Canberra/Sydney region.

    I want to try and make up some fibreglass/plastic moulds of it but I would easier if I didnt have to pull mine out all each time.

    I've got one. Are you trying to make a version that will take a larger touch screen?

    I've also got one made by jsp of this forum. See Home made navigation system - 95 HSE

    Very nice work.

    My idea was to make a mould then make a complete new one out of fibreglass.

    I intend to modify the shape a bit so the entire panel angles to the driver.

    Replace all the switches along the top with smaller ones. (so I can fit a few extra switches for driving lights etc.

    Add a bunch of guages (oil pressure/temp, water temp, etc)

    and finally the UHF radio

    All while trying to keep a little tray space

    If you wish.

    My only concern is its return. The last time I lent a P38A spare to someone, he never returned it and I haven't heard from him since (I lost his number after a Windows 7 upgrade).

    I respect that .. happy to arrange whatever "deposit" would make you feel comfortable. Ill PM further details.

    I should not have looked further at that link you provided. I am now (seriously) investigating the option to putting a touch screen that does both the display of engine parameters and controls all the switching fuctions that were on the console.

    Cheap if one could get it for that price.

    There are always a good few for sale so prices never get that high. Even buy now prices are sometimes 15 pounds.
