Request - Please show me your center console

[Squatch Pads]

I'm getting ready to design my early center console and wanted to see pictures of what some of you have put together.

I want to run some gauges and switches for:

1. Driving lights

2. Rear Defrost

3. Electric Fan Override

4. Oil Pressure

5. Water Temp

6. Amp/volt?

Can you help----I've got a radio already in the mount, but don't have anywhere for speakers in this car, and really, really don't want to make holes.

[ColinK]

Here's a picture of what I did for mine.

I used my existing sides when I removed a Behr a/c unit.

For the faceplate I used a sheet of 1/8 plastic with a textured face that I laminated to 3/16 plywood for strength.

Oil temp, oil pressure and volts for the dials. Included a standard mount in-dash CD player/radio.

Have not mounted any front speakers yet but I won't be cutting any holes in the doors, kick panels or the sides of the console. I should probably first upgrade/replace the rear speakers that are 30 years old....but that's another project.

Good luck

Integrating a retractable cupholder from an Audi A6. Hardly original looking, but it's discreet when closed and I use it almost every day, works great.

John, that is one sharp center console. That looks beautiful.

I will post pics soon but the cup holder idea works wonders for me as well. Thanks Tom

how did you get that hazard button all the way down there?

Slight rerouting of wires and some extra length.

As per your request Robspeed.
