Center consol fridge

Post by Oetie »

Been thinking about this for a while now, replacing the current center console with a center console fridge.

Is it worth it?
If so, what fridge will be recommended?
Does it impact or limit movement of the left arm? The ones fitted to the Voetspore Cruisers looks uncomfortable and in the way of changing gears.

Fire away.

I installed a flex CF8 a couple of years back, well not that long, think it was 2021. Works like a charm (though it does use up some leg space at the back). It sits back far enough so its not a mobility issue, and I put a cushion on it then my arm rests very comfortable

I installed a Flex in December 2023. I removed my Rear air-con a while ago, so I did not need to worry where I have to relocate or put the rear air con controls, I just removed those controls. But it should not be an issue finding a spot for them should I still have needed it.

I installed mine right against the passenger seat so I have enough space to have placed a after market cup holder on Driver side, also the hand brake forced that location more than the cup holder, that was just a bonus. lol

Yes and the stitching was incidentally exactly the same, I was lucky it looks like it came with the fridge.
