Cubby Hole attempt

Hi ,bit tied up today but will get some sketches and a few more photographs posted for you .... in addition to trimming the back of the the R 25 unit l also trimmed the lip of the unit which allowed it to sit more neatly into the aperture in the dashboard , l did no trimming or modification to the existing dashboard, pics to follow

Hi again , few pics that speak a 1000 words really, hope the sketch makes sense, ...I have included a couple of lights in the roof of mine that operate with the door lights for effect... the screws holes you see in the edge are to grip the cubby in place , not much else to report other than it took ages to hone the shape ... & I used pape- Mache' to help make a template for the back box/ & the amount to cut off the rear ..cut little & often to get there ( you can cut more off , but never nail it back on !) hope all this helps. , last photo, so the door ajar, looks like the devil's glove Box...lol

Move the EPAS ECU, it could sit between the glovebox and the cubby hole, lengthen the wiring if need be.

ps . I had to use a really harsh rasp/ file to reduce the plastic lip on the cubby ( once I finished with a fine bladed saw) & then smoothed off with a medium file ..the plastic is tougher than you think ,slow & east does it... & you'll get a result. ..post a pic so I can see what you've achieved ! 👍

HI Fil6909
Pic are great will review and attempt the lip reduction in a week or two. Just got the get the confidence to do it.

Regards and thanks again for you help and assistance.

No probs , shout up if you need anything else clarifying.. I took the view that slow & steady wins, but the worst that can happen is you cock up a £20 rover part & have to start again.
