2001 Upper center consol- Add a controll box

Postby Chandlerarms [OP] » Dec 20 2011, 6:16pm

Hello -

Great site!

I have been trying to find a way to secure a salt spreader controller in the spot where the cassette player is. I have removed the cassette player. The spreader controller fits nearly perfect in the opening, but I am unsure how to secure it. I am thinking of useing either heavy duty velcro or some styrofoam blocks to "wedge" the controller secure (or a combination of the two). I think it would be easier to work with if I removed the section of the consol where the player was, but I am unsure of how to remove it?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I have attached a pic to give you an idea of the controller.

I would assume you could find some universal radio mount package and secure it. In the end, you may have to make a pretty faceplate to go over the universal plate to make it look pretty.

Thanks for the suggestion!

I spent days trying to figure out how to do it. Turns out - alls I had to do was use the bracket from the cassette player I removed! Not sure how else I can "clean it up"?

I have been really wanting to get rid of the old cassette but you opened a world of ideas my plan is to put a piece of diamond plate there drill holes and make it a switch box
