Spent today relocating the handbrake...........worked well until I seen the floor bend. I needed to remove the shifter anyway as I have refurbished one. This included a new gear insulator and a second hand shifter as they wear on the pivot joint causing the "up & Down" movement. I have made 5mm plates to locate under the floor pan to help with the flex issue: Just finished final fitment, all is good............handbrake works well now. |

During the construction of building a console out of MDF I figured it will look the same as the one I took out.......... so I test fitted the console only to find it fits! It requires some small modification, but a damn site better than making a whole new one. Here are some pics. |

I have now added a recess in order for the handbrake to clear. |

Not that anybody gives a shit but here is an update: Used the starion window switch housing: Just need to ensure I can "click" it in place. |

How often do you actually drive Bitza? Console looks awesome. I love that power windows were bragging rights in 1982 |

Update..........here is the console painted and with Starion switches.........I have also added luminous tape to the switches in order to see them in the dark. I'm not happy with the colour.......it looks more brown to me (as seen on the bin lid)............I'll get the colour mixed soon. |

If you wish Jamie........It started out as off topic, but has now grown into a detailed build. |

Post subject: | Re: Custom console |

looks good. is that the sigma console, or the one you were manufacturing from MDF though? neat interior looks crazy with the digital dash too. |

Author: | Bitza [ 04 Dec 2010, 16:02 ] |
Post subject: | Re: Custom console |
Jamie, Still not happy with the dash fascia.........it's been ANOTHER month!!!!!..........still waiting!!!!! D3bb4, It's the actual console I removed, I still have the MDF front section I made, plus the Sigma rear and a cordia console. |

Post subject: | Re: Custom console |
Now that the console is finished I need to move the old power window switches from the arm rests. They look so ugly..........don't know why I did it!! Anyway, I now have replaced the blue vinyl on the door trim. Here is a test fit of the door trim with the handle.........looks alot cleaner now. Just need to finish the wiring for the windows and finalise the passenger side. |
