I'm sure many have traded in the standard full DIN radio/cassette player with a decent 1/2 DIN CD player/CD stacker head unit. I have got my old faithful and
well travelled Kenwood 6 stacker CD player to put in, the stacker will fit snug into the console between the seats and the head unit into 1/2 of the hole left by the original unit. Question is...what to do with the other 1/2? A DIN mounted CB will fit (ie UH088 etc) I'm sure, but I already have one that will screw under the dash in front of the gear sticks...she's an oldy and will eventually be replaced with one for the 1/2 hole, but until then? Is there a manufacturer who makes up plastic console bits with just a simple recess for sunnies etc or will something from a wreckers out of whatever else fit? Any ideas would be appreciated.
PS Thanks for all the pics and calls from members while I was looking for an 80... my missus' (read handbrake) idea of a 'Cruiser definately wasn't the same as
mine... she didn't want all the goodies..."why do you need them for? You're not taking this off road...you better not treat this like your Hilux's...!!!" so I'll have to add them a bit at a time so she wont notice!!
