unknown holes in dashboard!!

Postby rgutsell » Wed Aug 01, 2018 12:06 pm

Hiya

I have a 1997 "Smiley" SWB, right hand drive.

There are two vacant holes in the dashboard; one a longish letter box shape, below the radio on/off button, and the other a squarer hole. I think one of them may have been the cigarette ash drawer. Its an original dashboard with a tape deck!!

Any ideas what they were for? I have not been able to find an image on line that matches my vehicle.

Looking forward to the replies.

Yellow = double din 8 track player.Some were only half as thick so a blank was fitted to cover the hole.
Blue = ash tray or where I put my diesel recipts.
Red = a place to store small bits of crap.
Purple = fag lighter or if you want to be PC these days 12v outlet :roll:
Green = cup holder (these are usually fooked)If yours works cherish the short time you have left together.
White = dashboard blanks for the poverty spec vans.Switches live in here on the better ones.

I didn't mention the little ledge (it's where hooligans put marker pens for defacing stuff)

balls forgot to crop it :(

HIYA

Thanks for that...LOL!

I have found a cup holder!! Yeeay! (From Transit dumped on a breakers yard) Now looking for the drawer that went into the bottom slot.

Sadly my tape deck is F*******cked. It chews the tapes up. I wont get one of those from a breaker.

Yours
