Dashboard Add-Ons

Has anyone got any links or pictures to anywhere that show a D1 with a CB Radio built into/onto the dash? Either one that can be bought or a homemade arrangement.

I know these things exist outside of my head!

Raptor engineering do a dash pod, as do mud stuff. but the raptor one is better..

if youre happy to lose your music radio.....

depends how thin the CB is - mine fits a treat!!

Its an old Amstrad 900 so a bit chunky.

that's a 300 dash but the pod just sits on top if dash will still fit. for a cheaper option Maplins do ally , stainless steel or plastic component boxes that will fit on dash with a couple of screws and simple enough to cut out a slot to suit CB.

Not the best quality photo but here goes.....

If you don't have sunroof controls between the visors is usual place.

I had me Ham radio unit (faceoff jobby) mounted here in the 200tfi disco.

Hmm..liking this. Id have to make the top of the dash flat obviously as its 'steeped' now. Ta!

here was where I fitted me chunky box..

Now thats a reasonably good place, not as visible from outside either.

PS...You really need to get that cleaned out.

hehe. That was taken just after I'd finished soldering everything together.

Long gone now tho.. had 300tdi disco and now the 110 since those pics were taken.

Mine has a glove box space above passenger footwell my cb is mounted there its no good where pikey had his as im always upto me arse in mud n water

This is getting the vote at the mo...with the d2 3 or 4 cut-out depending on the cb measurements.

Daft money for them raptor consoles though, make summit!

Joe are them burners worth having for the CB? Any side effects?
