Default [Saab_c900] centre consoles for C900's without them - 12-11-2004 , 05:48 PM







Hi everyone,

What's your opinion on fitting centre consoles to mid-80's and earlier
C900's which didn't have them as standard equipment?

Quote:
From all the info I've been able to gather so far, it appears as though a
centre console from any pre-1990 C900 will fit into an earlier year C900
because all the mounting points, grooves in the lower dash valence, etc
are already there.

The only contention would be that the cover over the
handbrake/transmission/ignition area would need to be changed to one which
joins to a centre console.

Otherwise I think it will work but I'm open to advice...

It would be great to have more than 1 DIN slot available, both for adding
extra things like a cup/coin holder, and also for providing room for
additional gauges, etc.

Regards,

Craig.

I had a C900 without the center console. It offered one great feature,
the driver could easily move over to the passenger seat which permitted
the driver to exit the car on non traffic side. This could be a life
saver with people driving while talking on cell phones. Many taxi
passengers ask why the traffic side door of a taxi does not open from
the inside . . It also makes you wonder why Saturn designed their
three door model with the single back seat door opening on the traffic
side. What were they thinking?

Even better on the old 96 with the totally flat floor.
