no longer required, thanks. WTD- centre console gear surround

Hello. Does anyone have the centre console piece that goes around the gear stick and towards the dash?

I’m about to install an amateur radio but to get a neat job I’ll need to modify this panel to suit and me being me I’d rather I kept the original mint or at least have a replacement part to hand if I ever change my mind.

The cheaper the better please as it’s only for a spare but also in as good a condition as poss. If you’re not in centra Scotland I’d happily pay for myhermes or the like for postage.

Thanks in advance
Tony.

Airbag controller is under there, not a lot of room to be gained from chopping it up im afraid.

There is enough space to screw into the plastic under the ashtray to have a bracket holding the CB from above, roughly where you have it in the picture (thats how mine is mounted, but my CB is a lot smaller than that one).

I might have a console what year is yours ?
You could relocate cb in to glove box

Hi cheers for replying.

My Jimny is a 2008 with push button 4wd.


I’ll need to look under it then to see if shaving it will make any difference or not I don’t need a massive cut (I think)

I did think about the glove box too but I liked the idea of it being console mounted



Like the way I’m holding it here just further back into the dash. I’ll try and have a look Monday after work and try to figure out if my trim would interfere with the important abs thingy.

This is the bit I had intended to shave/ trim off. Roughly along the yellow cut line.

I had intended to do something similar but different with mine. There's literally a 4 or 5 mm clearance of the abs module under the plastic. Sorry.

Back to the drawing board.

Would you be able to separate the control panel from the internals to allow you to then mount the internal circuitry in one place, but just have the fascia control panel under the centre console gap where it looks like it'll fit? Would obviously mean you somewhat butchering the unit but give you options for (partly) achieving what you're after.

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationThis is the CB I use, which does fit in the space you are wanting to put it (really small):

I am also fitting a small CB (I know you were fitting a Ham Radio - de G1SEO)

My last one was low down and succumbed to water ingestion. I was looking at going up higher.

I was going to try and convert the space below the broadcast radio (which has a clock in it) as it is close to double DIN (well 1.98 DIN really) but I think it will not work out well, looking too home made due to the work/cutting involved.

Therefore thinking about simply putting it on top of the dashboard??? Does this tend to look bodged, is it a cut too far? What below the tray (just the air vents?)

I'd mount that flat without the brackets direct with some Velcro. The bracket makes it look odd?

I kinda have a plan as I don’t want it on top of the dash (but I can understand why you’d want to Martin), I’ve already fitted a double din head unit so that space is used up, and I have already bought this ham radio (at a fantastic price from another radio enthusiast) I picked up a 90° adapter for the antenna plug which helps a little with clearance and if take a small notch out of the hot air duct that points to the foot area I might be able to get it to fit in better.

I’ll sleep on the idea and weather depending I’ll maybe have a go tomorrow. If I do, I’ll start a new thread in a more suitable section of the forum with the solution.

Cheers again folks.
