Can you great folks show me pics of your center consoles, or links if you have posted them before. Especially if you had any how to write ups. Need to make one to get my radio out of the glove box. I'd rather borrow / steal an idea then remake the wheel.

Here is a centre console from an Australian brochure circa 1973 showing a genuine VW Australia centre console.

This car isn't finished yet but so far I took the radio mount out of a 71, flipped it over, and installed gauges:

I'm hoping that Tram will chime in, I know that he made a couple. In my Squareback, I am running air conditioning, so I won't have a straight connection to the underside of the dash. I will need to make mine that goes down to the floor, in order to get support for the stereo and three gauges.

Multi69s, you said you want to get the radio out of the glove box... That's probably where mine will end up. Did you find having the radio in the glove box to be annoying?

Reaching across the car just to change the volume is not only a pain, but at times dangerous.

I currently just use the volume on my phone so I think that will be okay...
