Title: Centre Console in Ute Post by: michaels57 on July 18, 2002, 08:03:40 AM Hey Guys,
As i gutted the interior in the ute on the weekend i was thinking of putting in a center console that would suit a 4spd and also look good wondering if it's been done before and what's sought of console should i use.

Cheers Jockster Title: Re: Centre Console in Ute Post by: JB on October 16, 2002, 05:31:45 AM I've got a Vt console in mine, but have had to do a lot of creative artwork with the floor tunnel out of the donor car to have the handbrake and the gear selector fit in the right place. This has also allowed me to put the Vt bucket seats in the car.
Hopefully I will have some pics soon, as at the moment I have lost access to a digital camera.

Try using a search engine and type in FE's and consoles

Just enough room to stuff a street directory, or lose your mobile phone ;)
The HK console is just a storage box (ie a half-console?) In other words it doesn't have a frame that the shifter boot fits into. cheers RET |
