Nic's Centre Dash-Console swap

What does the T piece connect to?

If you follow the guide by @ZipcodeUK He guide you through. It basically fits into a hole created by the removal of a grommet.

@Ed Webb @ZipcodeUK did either of you do the the added 2 usb's?

I didn't add another usb. My radio is aftermarket and even the original doesn't work.
It's a lot of dollar to add an additional usb

I can confirm this pipe works a treat, fitted one today and the length is perfect
The pipe/t piece is all one unit and both ends just push right on, will dig out the part number

Any luck with the part number @Pauly ?...sorry to be a pain

 

[Pauly]

@Pauly is it just the 2 items I need or do I need the T piece as well?

 

[T6180]

I asking loads of questions about this cooler pipe...but still can't get my head round what it connects to that provides the cool air?

 

[Ed Webb]

@T6180 The T piece comes with the long hose.

 

[Pauly]

As above the t piece is part of the hose
The air box in the dash has a 20mm blanking grommet in the side of it, you remove the grommet and push the t piece part of the hose into the hole

@Ed Webb @ZipcodeUK or anyone ,is this a mod that can be done to a PV van ?

 

[Pauly]

Can be done to any vehicle that has a single passenger seat
Will fit to any vehicle but if you have a double passenger seat the inside passenger will have no leg space (as in literally none)

 

[Peatey]

Top man @Pauly will be in touch for an order if thats ok

My van used to be PV. Just require a single passenger seat as already mentioned.

 

[Peatey]

cheers @Ed Webb i thought yours was but just wanted to make sure,
I've thrown the wife a curved ball with holiday plans to buy me some time so i need to get it ordered !

So today I finally had the time to fit my centre console and lower dash trims.....I know I have to purchase some additional screws and speed clips, however I can't seem to get the bottle cooler section to clip in....is this what I need the speed clips for or am I missing something here....

BTW the this thread was excellent to follow and made the whole process a lot easier.

Have you trimmed the floor/tunnel to allow the base to sit fully down ?
If you are referring to fitting the bottle cooler into the centre console trim then it’s just a bit of a bitch in general, even when factory fitted you need to give the rear of the bottle cooler a good shove backwards and push the locking clips out as you press back they never seem to engage on there own

Hi @Pauly yeah I trimmed it down maybe a bit to much just to be on the safe side, it seems the bottle cooler wants to pop back out and I can't seem to get it to clip in. I'm a manual if that makes any difference as the gear cables seem very close.

@Pauly I've done it!....I followed your instructions and gave it a good shove and it appears to of clipped in ok...………..well it's not fallen out again.....Thank you

Did I cut the wrong part of plastic?
I found this to be the only part I couldn’t understand and therefore could not fit bottle cooler/holder.

Also the compartment next to the gear lever, seem to be missing a rubber lining and some form of a blanking plate or perhaps a light fitting??? Can some one please post part numbers for these two please. (Refer to 2nd photo)
