Hello binge send me a drawing around the out side of his centre console, so icut it out and every thing and it dont fit! the heater pipes r in the way!?! ohh dear.. lol what ideas do u lot have?

As normal, most minis are not the same shape, so a little bit of fettling may have to be done to achieve a fit..

Cut the template where the pipes go?

[rob mini]

just look where abouts is obstructing and shave little bits off the console until it is a perfect fit

ohh im confused now... the pipes are in the way but binge never drew the holes on ile have a look at the plans

ok they dont say theres holes in it i think ile pull the pipe of and draw round roughly where the hole needs to be

just use a bit of common sense! the pipes on your car could be routed differently, i know mine are to toher minis iv seen. As has been said just look roughly where the pipes are, or even take some measurements and then cut the holes out when u make it

ok well ive got all today to tingle with it so hope hully ile have one done by the end of the day! :grin: ive nearly ran out of mdf though i mite sqweeze another side on though

whenever im making a template i allways use strong card first that way you can play with it cutting little bits away until you have the perfect shape then make it
out of what you want.

my centre consule has a wavey top to allow the pipes to come over the top of the side if this helps, (sadlly digital camera doesn't work anymore so can't post a pic)
