Centre Consoles
Hi,
I'm after some info if poss, i'm a new member and bought a MK1 GTI Cab last week people may have seen me broken down on the M1 JCT 12-13 on thursday!! Not the best start to me owning a Classic.
Anyway i need to know if a centre console from a MK1 hardtop will fit straight into my cab. (i am a total novice so this may be a stupid question)
I also need to know why my power hood isn t working i can get it to move about eight inches then it stops, obviously i have power to it but can anyone give me some ideas what is wrong.
Any info will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Lynchy

Errrr?. I bow to Rich?s superior knowledge
but the Fischer C-Boxes are different between soft and hard tops, hence the recess in the console must be different . I found out by buying the wrong one on ebay
, I think it was an honest mistake on the sellers part as I?d also assumed that the centre consoles would be the same. The console may be interchangeable :dontknow: between hard and softtops but they are different!

The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.

Cheers for the quick reply guys i think i'll take a gamble on it fitting, i'll also try and get some oil for the hood.

Mmmm - Early you might be right - I did a check on ETKA and they had the same part number. I think it might be the case they are interchangeable but the real cab one is different - certainly is for the later cab with the hydraulic roof and lecky windows.
Lynchy - let us know how you get on 8)
