Do you have the original ashtray and flip top? If so, would you sell? Please respond to my e-mail address if you have it and it's in good condition.
Thanks

Yes as I explained at the beginning. I wanted an extra storage compartment on the console. I don't want to put stuff in cup holders because then I wouldn't be able to put cups in it.

I already deleted my radio and made a plate to cover the space, that's where all my switches go now.

It's genius! I'm definitely stealing that idea for making up new panels for my lower quarter.

I went with a panel like this some years ago. I used it to house switches for ARB compressor, front locker and rear locker.
You can still find them on ebay. I like the metal canister the original poster did, I ended up hacking the plastic ashtray to fit switches an wiring into this spot.
