Ahhh, gotcha. Perfect, thanks

I think it is mainly the bolt seized in the arm, crack the rear bolt loose too to help the arm sections move. It took a lot of force, one foot in the wheel arch for leverage and a 24" breaker bar, once it had initially broken the grip it still had to be soaked with penetrating fluid for a couple of...

All that said, if anyone has an upper centre console, I'm still very interested in having a spare as I've made mine unreversable now.

Yeah, I've had the panels apart in the past (in order to accommodate an era-spec boost gauge, I had to trim the plastic for the clock, despite the fact that the actual hole in the wood was the correct diameter). Currently line of thought is a double DIN cage for the actual new stereo, keep the doubl...

I assume the a lot of difficult comes from the fact that any movement is also part of the adjustment, so I'm not purely trying to free off a rusted bolt - the whole joint will be fused together.

Yeah, I'm not expecting it to be easy - I have an idea of making up DIN cages/scrapped stereos to hold the Rover wooden panels, but we'll see if I can get the frame to take them first!

Rear suspension toe adjuster bolts were seized, could only turn them with a breaker bar so been soaking them with penetrating oil for weeks and finally got round to removing them, I bought new replacements but was able to clean up the originals and reuse them. .... http://rovervitesse.com/IMG9562%2...

Fitting a double DIN touch-screen job - but I want it to be reversable, so I'm experimenting with making the existing pieces (ashtray, clock, blank panel etc) modular so I can keep the clock panel.

No problem - it's for a lockdown project that I need to have swappable options for, but I may start hacking at the one in the car, depending on my tolerance for being indoors!

That'd be fantastic, thanks Dave.

Hope you're keeping well and looking after yourself.

Hi all,

I'm after the internal plastic 'frame' of the centre console that houses the radio, ashtray etc if anyone has a spare?

Looks alright that - BMW inspired, but horizontal.

He should probably cash in on the plate, to be honest!

Weirdly, showing as taxed, but not MOT-ed since 2018?

Just looks so lovely. Well done
