has any1 fitted a cd player in a brumby if so could u please guide me how to fit the cdplayer in the console

cheers

Basically you have to bend the bracker on the left hand side out of the way to keep the ash tray or make up a new facia and custom brackets.

have you done this to ur to make room for the cd player
and also wat would you suggest makin the facia out of

Yeah i have done this. I played with the fitting for a couple of hours cutting and filing everything so it would fiting so I can still have use of the ash tray. There is no real way to explain it and photos won't really help i think. The only words of advice i can say is it will fit with some playing.
The facia you can buy somewhere i believe, some one here should know where. Just put a wanted add up.

I made a new fascia out of 16mm craftwood. rectangular with rectangular hole in it. mounted or screwed the cradle to it and screwed it all back into place.t

when i get my camera back ill get a pic of my work in progress

cherrs that would b great

Find an 80-81 sedan/wagon/coupe, unscrew their console, cut out the DIN-size radio supports with a hacksaw and file, paint to match your interior, and it all fits. Only problem can be if your CD player is too long, and the entry/exit angle of the CD as the player is sitting on a 30 degree angle (my 2nd-hand Pioneer works fine, and plays back better over rough stuff than my $400 Sony ).

There's a donor grey unit at a wreckers near me that I almost grabbed the other day as a spare...those 80-81's are getting tough to find (I just shipped a brown one to a guy in the US last week). PM me if you want it...I think it was about $12.
