Mobile Installations fitting hints and tips.

I was asked to expand on the page I had written for Mobile Installation and add information for specific vehicles.

Listed below are fitting hints, tips and problems that I am aware of, or that people have sent in or referred to me about certain vehicles or just greneral aspects. Some are links to other sites that show installs, these will open in a new window, those marked with (i) are on this site (internal). As the web is 'world wide' some external sites will show left hand drive vehicles.

If you have any such remarks, pointers etc, for your vehicle then by all means let me know what vehicle (including year model if possible) and your experiences and I will include your wisdom within these pages.

Thanks, Brian MW0GKX.

P.S. This is how NOT to do it! (click for full sized image)
