My Patrol is thankfully dry under the seats lucky because there is lot of electrics under the drivers seat!

makeitfit · 01-09-2014, 23:03

Mine is usually, but some holes need attending to

deep water crossings and floor electrics don't mix

I guess I better pull my autumn finger out and get welding, AGAIN

I manage to find things on this site easily too, using the search facility, but the first few times I tried... I gave up.

Searching ebay is keeping the word count small enough to get hits, but big enough to limit the number of returns.

This site is all about helping each other, it didn't take long.

Thanks. I do find that the search feature on this site is a bit hit and miss. I have tried common words and get no results, but maybe that's just me

Bah you need some holes for when you wade deep to keep weight on the wheels!

Kind regards

Russell.

I found there was plenty space on the passenger side of the transmission tunnel

I've sat in the passenger seat and there's still bags of room and I'm not a wee lad! (6'2", 97kg

Trouble with my T2 is that the tunnel bulges outwards, different to your Patrol. I'll take a look... What model Midland have you got?

russell.huffer · 02-09-2014, 15:16

Wish I was only 97kg then that might be an option but at 116kg I would catch my overweight leg on that, also this is an area I find the patrol to feel cramped, on the trooper the transmission tunnel was smaller but I do find the Patrol transmission tunnel pushes against my leg. Also do not want screw holes showing after removal (if yours is screwed in).

Kind regards

Russell.

Velcro hooks grip really well to the carpet and roof. You could use that to hold it in place.

On my T2, I went for the remote Mic approach so the CB box is hidden up under the dash, and just the Mic is in show.

sent from my phone, sorry for any typo's.

It's a 78 Plus, no complaints about it so far

Funnily enough I do find my left leg sits against the tunnel a bit when driving but there's a lot of space between legs and tunnel when sitting in the passenger seat

CB is screwed in but you only need one hole as you can use an existing screw. Wasn't really worried about any extra holes as I don't plan on getting rid of her and I've already got wires going through the firewall etc
