I have had a dozen or so thin stainless steel custom consoles made to
use to install radio/casssette/cd players in spridgets. They fit nicely
in front of the shifter and allow plenty of room for a new radio plus
speakers on each side by your knees and extra switches and or gauges.
They can be wrinkle painted otr covered with vinyl to match your
interior.
I can provide more info and possibly a pix as well.
Give me a toot.
They are priced very reasonable and provide a neat alternative.
Regards
Alan
