i've just started building my new dash and iam looking for a good place to mount the ps2, I want it in the front but am tied between these two locations.

This will be mounted behind the glove box, i'd have to modify the air vent but other than that seams straight forward.


This will be concealed behind a panel trimmed to match the dash possibly with the joypad's inside the glove box

looks good in under the dash, is in the same place where my stereo is so shouldn't be much a problem to mount it either

also, where did you get your toggle switches from they're well cool

have u tried the PS2 whilst driving, because im sure that the drives they use dont have any anti-shock whatsoever. Same as PC's and Xbox'sjust a thought.

not that you could play ps2 n drive at the same time anyway, you need 4 arms and 2 pairs of eyes and you'd look a bit weird like that :tongue:

I'm thinking of this kind of layout for the dash, i have more guages to go on so i may mount them in some pods on top of the dash.

I got the toggle switches from maplin Then red cover goes on the top. I bought these when my headlamp switch burnt out, takes a bit of fiddling with the wiring and i had to modify the way the hazards work but the look is well worth it.

thats sooo cool, have you got a garage? or good security? because having something like that in my car would worry me for parking it anyway for people to break in and steal.

everything will be made so its quickly removable. I have got a half decent alarm as well but to be honest thats not gona stop em. I was thinking of tinting the windows too just so everythings not quite as on show.
