When funds allow ah'll splash out and get one. Ah know what ye mean about fittin' a radio!!!! Ah did a fred awhile back about it, got there in the end thoughI recommend them 100%, the only difficult thing was converting the OEM electrickery to anything that could vaguely represent a connection for my Alpine Head unit. Got a big fat space in the middle waiting to be filled...
Cb radio? I don't think I need any dials, a rev counter would only make me feel for my poor wallet.
At one point I thought "switches for possible electric windows fitting?" But I'm very probably better off without.
A mate suggested I frame a picture of myself for it just for the arrogance humour.
Any suggestions?
That's what the cubby box is for. Incidently, I'm wondering how to attach it, its currently sitting on a piece of carpet with a metal plate underneath it where the middle front seat was. It has two wooden rungs on the bottom and I don't know the best way to fit it so it won't be a complete shambles. Anyone else installed a box on an old defender want to depart with some tips? closest I could think of was drilling through the metal and screwing in the wood but it sounds a bit of a clip bodge.Suppose ye could always stick a tray/box thing in it tae throw yer odds and ends in
ah would've said... if yer cubbybox doesnt reach the existing seat holes, try fixin' it tae sum flat bar that will reach. Thought they were pre drilled to fit anyways?That's what the cubby box is for.

OR... take out the cover that's over the gearbox and replace it with a bigger piece of plate that reaches the seat fixin' holes and then bolt the cubby box tae that. Don't forget sum draught excluder stuff around the big holeah would've said... if yer cubbybox doesnt reach the existing seat holes, try fixin' it tae sum flat bar that will reach.

Never thought of that, but then ah've not got onei just took that cover off, bolted the box to it then refitted - you could even do that without taking the cover plate off but you'd have to get underneath to do up the bolts
there's always velcro if he dunt want to get his hands dirty
cant ye take the slats off so ye have a flat base?
HEHEHEHEHEHE!!!too complex, he's not finish his "automative engineering degree" yet

He's got a point, luckily there's a few people nearby who I can gsi to remove them for me to stop me having to go near any tools.too complex, he's not finish his "automative engineering degree" yet

I've got a pretty good idea of how to do it now, cheers guys, all I have to do now is wait for my 3rd to come through in two years time.
