My plan is to put in a GPS double DIN headunit....I've got the sat nav bezel off at the moment but that jap sat nav is held fast ...but its coming out one way or the other!
Single DIN Holder
As I'm not putting the old single head unit into my EDM coupe, I need some sort of plate I guess thats got a holder I guess. Anyone know where the double draw one in the pic comes from ? Is that a cuppy or just a twin drawer. Sure looks factory to me so prob no show of getting one. Other options ?
Slim line Air con
Top lugs broke as I unscrewed that...Seen some on ebay the same. Whats the best way to fix these...washers and glue ?
Also I hoping to hook up the top ducts so will post pics if its possible
Foot brake
I'd sell everthing needed to install in a US coupe if its possible and someone is keen
Burlwood
The jury is out on if now is the time to paint this. My idea is to sand it back and finish it in a semi gloss / matt black. Anyone tried this ?

I know ford taurus' have single din cup/coin holders but they don't have wood on the front. Its probably just fake wood anyway, I wouldn't be surprised if you could find it on ebay. As for the broken tabs, thats a tough one. Either really smaller washers and glue or large washers you screw tight over whats left of the tabs would be my first tries.
Thats a nice offer on the foot brake but I've already got one that I can't get installed. I guess in a RHD legend its not an issue because the fuse box is next to the gas pedal(correct me if thats wrong) but in a LHD legend, the foot brake would be right on top of the fuse box and you'd have to reroute wires and do all kinds of crazy things to get the brake to mount.
I have seen people sand down the wood panels and paint them but it doesn't look all that good in my opinion. It may be better than fauxwood but not burlwood and definitely not the uber rare JDM navi burlwood. If you want to sand down and repaint the burlwood, I've got some really worn out navi burlwood that I'll trade you for (with some cash on top for you of course). It needs to be sanded down anyway. Let me know if you're interested. Its your wood to sand of course but I'd hate to see you do it to a good set of wood.
Good luck getting that navi unit out. Technically its not a sat nav though, it was based on accelerometers, not satellites. And let us know how hooking up those lower center vents go. Be sure to take pictures along the way and share when you're done!
