Re: Red Rattler Revamp
Bit more , today was mainly about console building- fiddly work and timber and I don’t get along all that well …..
JUST fits with the seat in - might keep an eye out for another BT-50 seat like the one in the ute
Made a steel bracket to bolt it in using nutserts into the frame around the gearstick
Then made all the rest of the bits - brackets to hold the outer bits on etc gobble up lots of time , routed the edges to soften it up , need to get some material tomorrow not sure what yet
Then folded up the metal for the wire hiding bizzo under the glovebox and called it a day

When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

Re: Red Rattler Revamp
Another step closer , finished off the cable tidy and got a little bit carried away- cut it to length, trimmed the ends up then marked these holes
To fit these in -

Re: Red Rattler Revamp
Looks great Blacky.
I understand your floor hump is different to mine for the console just means that I would need to allow for it, the basic shape of the console etc. is what I'm chasing.

Re: Red Rattler Revamp
Thanks mate and don't forget the bits from Clay on Sunday I'll make sure I get them out of the box.
I'm thinking of running buckets in "The Referend" so I think the same about full length console maybe or at least half length, got to have cup holders right?
