Rodbr Posted March 28, 2019 Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 Anyone out there got an mounting bracket that they don't need or can draw a template and send me.The one I have includes stop watches, Butlers nav light etc and is a bit heavy duty. Want to make a sub panel and mount the Halda separtately. Rgds Rod Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ianc Posted March 28, 2019 Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 Might be worth posting this on the Competition/Rallying area of the Forum, although there doesn't seem to be much happening there these days! Ian Cornish Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tony_C Posted March 28, 2019 Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 Doug Barrow will, of course know but mine came directly out of works side screen TR. Therefore, brackets and everything else original and period correct Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tony_C Posted March 28, 2019 Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 Yeah but... when I first fitted mine we had young eyes and, minimum expectations, that ‘navigator could look that far in front at least.... If ONLY we had known then Tom! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
iain Posted March 28, 2019 Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 (edited) The speed Speedpilot was fitted on the Transmission tunnel. I can measure my brackets. if you can wait a few days I will draw them up. This is VRW 219, 1958 Apple Green 3A on the Monte.

Rodbr Posted March 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 Hi gents, I don't really want to butcher the glove box and it was originally fitted below the dash. That has the tendency to restrict aged navigators access, so I like the idea of the transmission tunnel fitting. The down side of that is the tendency to get motion sickness from looking down at the screen. I may just get some alloy sheet and make my own to suit any and all pics and ideas welcome. All my additional switches are fitted on the drivers side of the dash Spots/fogs, Reversing lights, air horns etc. I would also like to install passenger/navigator dual switches again on a subpanel below the dash.

iain Posted March 29, 2019 Report Share Posted March 29, 2019 (edited) Alternatively Rod you could do a Gatso and run two Speedpilots....one on the tunnel and one on a bracket from the dash.. He also ran the cable for the second from a front wheel to obviate wheel-spin inaccuracies Iain Edited March 29, 2019 by iain Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hamish Posted March 29, 2019 Report Share Posted March 29, 2019 Could one not just make another glove box door to take the quipment so you save the original. Some ply wood painted or wrapped to suit you could drill and mount brackets to your hearts content then. H ps iain that’s a hell of a bit of iron mongery to put in front of the passenger. Looks like the rally lamp bracket on the front of my old mk1 escort. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
iain Posted March 29, 2019 Report Share Posted March 29, 2019 Hamish......yes you wouldn’t want to wear it! Likewise the concealed “chess clocks”under foam wrap in the first picture. Iain Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rgds Rod No butchering necessary nor. involved Rod, .... unscrew the lid at the hinges then store safely .. and as per Hamish above Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rodbr Posted March 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2019 Way ahead of you Tony! I would have to 1 Lose use of lockable lid 2 Cut the glove box for flexible cables 3. Create a look I don't really like. >>>>>>>> Quote Link to post Share on other sites
