I would be interested in them, however we have a 15" dvd system for the kids right where the light is.
Unsure if one would fit up in my roof space.

Could possibly make a digital template if you want evo shouldnt be too hard then to share it around.
Still would need the cardboard template to make correct measurements.
-
I would be interested also thanks. Happy to cover cost.
-
I would be interested also and the fact we live in the same town i think i should be able to pick up.

Hey Evo silly question
Do you have a template for 80 cruza
:cheers:

Ok guys at Nick's suggestion I have been looking into making a digital version as well. Therefore I can just email them out. The bit Im having trouble with is getting them to come up to the right scale so you can print them on standard a4...
The GU has three mounting points. This is where I will need some input from those who are interested.
The first mounting point is where the mirror sits and just needs a bit of steel bent into an L shape with some holes drilled into it. very easy. (not changeable)
The other two are as follows.
There is one under the main cabin light, and has a really beefy bracket under the roof liner. This is by far the easiest to locate and very strong. The down side is it makes it very long.
This one is by far the easiest to use though
The other is about 20-30cm closer to the windscreen. It is a crossrib that has two screw holes already in place. It was easy enough in mine as I already had the roof lining cut to fit a rear screen in there. This is the location that The outback consoles use.
I am happy to do either. On the last one I made, similar to dannys I had a cutout base to mount the roof screen into the console.

I don't have a template nor a console for an 80 series. I am happy to make one from scratch If I can get a hold of one though?
Cheers
Evo
-
I'd be interested in a template as well.
Mirror to main cabin light would be ideal, as no need to cut the roof lining.
-
OK dokies, easy enough to do. I should have the final template ready by Thursday. Then hopefully I can finalise the digital template.
Cheers
Evo

Sounds good, just don't forget that printers don't print to the edge, my own mistake on my first scale print.

And nearly finished. Just got to make up the bracket for the front mirror mount, carpet inside the storage pocket once the glue dries and make the map net for underneath.

Very nice Evo
Like your work mate

The front light unit looks very nice, as does the whole console. :cup: :cup:
Make sure the light unit has a very low profile. I have a Dept Of The Interior console with the Nissan glasses holder in that position. Anything hanging below the console would block the view in the mirror.
Just sayin'......

The front light is actually an oem part. BUT not a nissan, AND definitely not a toyota haha.
its actually out of a Great wall X200

Go to the last photo on the right
The trick to the carpet is a really good contact adhesive, and plenty of patience. Pull it tight and let the glue dry before you move on to the next part.
Plus plenty of practice helps :cup:

Something I have been meaning to make for a while.. but keeps getting put off and put off...
very nice work mate!!
where did you buy the light unit from, a wreckers?
-
@evo Kids just got home and missus told them to check out the post, took them a while but they soon worked out that's their DVD screen, youngest even went and said no ours is in the car lol not spotted the great big hole in the roof for a week..
So the kids give a big thumbs up for the work saying that i couldn't do anything even close to looking that good.
-
Hi Evo,
How did you end up going with the templates?
-
Not good im afraid, I need to make some tweaks but due to life getting in the way I haven't gotten there yet.
Cheers
Evo

Hi Evo,
I can help with scaling the digital template if you want to email me the file...
Do this all the time at work.

If it helps I have the template for my GU console still, the bit in the middle can be easily modified to suit your needs. If anyone in Melbourne needs a bare timber carcase made up I am sure i can work something out.
