For this project I designed and built a console for under the dash since I have a 60/40 split bench seat. All the hard work of the install was done today. Started at 7 am and finished at about 6 pm...with a 3 hour break for a rescue call (2 mile hike into the wood...carry patient to chopper and go back to the firehouse and do the paperwork). Only thing left to do is securing the CD Changer remote on the open part of the face on the console, a few mic clips, and tidy up some loose ends. That'll be next weekend...
So on to the pictures.....
First stage... removed the seats and all the old wiring and radios. Boy...what a mess....
Primary wiring done...console is now secured...
With all the wiring done... the seats go back in. Thankfully they were tougher coming out than putting them back in.
Front view of the console. From the top... Switch for the lights, VHF Astro Spectra W9(with brand new CH), UHF Range 2 A7 Analog Spectra, and Low Band 35-50 GE Orion(recently revived from a "shocking" event)
And of course the brain of the set-up... The trunk units.
