Thread: Mounting a UHF in a Disco

Yep, the GME TX3400 with the head unit under the drinks holder behind the transfer lever, and the body under the dash. Great spot unless you have drinks in the holder.

Read through here also.

It seem the ones with a seperate head unit are the way to go, thanks guys. I would also be interested in seeing where people have got full units put

I know it's not a Disco but this may give you some ideas.

I've mounted the detachable head unit from my Uniden to the dash with automotive double-sided tape. The main unit is inside the rear wheel well, under the floor.

The speaker is double-sided taped to the under side of the centre console in the rear seat area

some people hang them around their necks....on a lanyard......but these are the handheld units......

i have seen quite a few fitted on the front or back of the centre console.....

or you could fit a roof console......

I've got the '98ish disco interior (i think its 98) and being no electric windows I made a braket and shroud as such to slot in beside the handbrake.... seems to be ok but I done actually have the car on the road yet

I have a one piece unit and mounted it vertically on the flat area at the back of the centre console.
I made a mounting board for it out of thin custom wood with a bit of piano hinge at the top and hung it off the same screws used for the centre console lid. That way there's no need for any extra holes to be drilled.
Its out of the way back there and because on mine the speaker is in the unit makes it quite easy to hear people over the noise of the TDi. The only disadvantage is you need to twist your head around to to see the display.

This is a TX3400 head install in my Fender.
