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

Fair enough, I didn't know that...
Oh sent you a pm mate.

Template for mine is coming along thanks to evo for all his help with this one, will take pics when im over next

evolution · « **Reply #29 on:** September 02, 2013, 07:24:38 PM »

So nick_4x4 is getting a little more than a template haha

this is what I got done today.

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.

Cheers

Can you give me some details on the front light unit, trying to work out what to use for mine. Looks great, need to work out the secret to get the material look so good

The front light unit looks very nice, as does the whole console.

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

I want one!!

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?

nick_4x4 · « **Reply #44 on:** September 03, 2013, 05:21:22 PM »

@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?

evolution · « **Reply #46 on:** February 04, 2014, 07:09:46 PM »

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.
