Custom Center console for cup holders in a WD21 Nissan Pathfinder |
I need a place to locate inside winch controls, light switch and cup holders and retain the nice Pathy style arm rest. I am basically copying the R50 Pathy center console slightly. Uses OEM hardware to mount. Materials needed: 16 and 11 gauge steel. 6x1 mm nuts and Nissan bolts. Cup holders done pix.
before. There is 2 hidden cup holders in lid. But I cant drive with the lid open. First step is to move the p brake handle 1.5".
Done with move. Same stock bolts. Now P brake is 1/4" higher and leaves room for Cup holders.
Mock up. I used driveshaft tube. 11 gauge 3". Mockup done.
Rear cup holders are just 3" exhaust pipe from autozone.
the front section is lots of 11 gauge steel. There is a fuse block welded to front section.
I use a 40amp circuit breaker connected at the battery to feed the fuse panel. All 15amp fuses. No relays since I used bigger wiring and switchs can handle current.
