Y61 Mini Cubbyhole

Hi All

wondering if anyone has found good use for the mini-cubby-hole/storage compartment. :think:

I was thinking of installing a GPS in there that you could leave permanently and no one would be the wiser because you could just flip the cover closed when you leave the vehicle. Not sure if the reception will be good though. Would have to cut the back open to get you power source in there to look neat. Has anyone got the dimensions? I'd measure if I was at home. :wink:

Hi JohnBoy,

That is, if my sources are correct, the place for the navigation system in the overseas Patrols so your idea is 100%

A short slider rail (like for drawer systems) and a spring can sort that out!

Makes installation a bit more tricky though.
