Absinth,
You couldnt make or someone have the blanking plate that goes at the rear of the HQ console in place of the ashtray?

Hmm, just thinking on the Prem fascia, is it one flat radio panel like a gts one..... I could drill holes for the allen key look, cut the ones from the old section and weld them in from behind also.... I think that could work..... shoot it would take a lot of work too.....

Greg has them for $185..... just throw away the rest of the fascia that comes with it...Originally Posted by mauser

They arnt really like a dash fascia... I had one once in a short HQ console. It was just a plate of plastic that looked like the HQ console sides. It would need some clips so you can put it in after it is screwed down to the rear mount.

Sorry mate I was thinking the radio blanking plate on the dash..
Console ashtray blank off wouldn't be too hard to make and weld in if you have an old damaged console you could cut a piece from.

I think this is a picture on one on a brown hq console. Greg could prob confirm if this is the right one.Sorry mate I was thinking the radio blanking plate on the dash..

I have another short green hq console that's kicking around but its complete... broken HQ consoles are hard to find..lol
Mine is a black console but I could paint the plate. It needs to clip on somehow so you could access the rear mount sqrews.

Not hard to find broken ones, I saw five of them at the wreckers in Geelong. You could cut a panel out of any console, even a seat seperator would do..... problem is finding one cheap enough to cut up....
On another note.... I've finished four GTS dash fascia restorations.... look great now with the silver border and new badges fitted to the HZ ones. One HJ, one HX and two HZ.

Going great guns Absinth,
I'll have to get my arse into gear.
With the silver outline around the dash facia was that originally silver or chrome?
I know that a class does something.

I just found in the HZ features manual that HZ GTS and Sandman have the same fascia, called "Black Brushed Chrome". Only thing that is odd is Sandman is listed as having V5U - Instrument Fascia Equipment and it is unique to 70/80 body styles on XX7/XU3 only. I have a feeling it may be just cover plates for radio and intermittent wipers as both of these are standard on GTS. Needs more research, but it is reflected in the parts catalogue as Sandman shows the same original p/n as GTS with type 5 60/70/80 body styles showing 2 x different part numbers for console shift vehicles difference will be for RTS and non-RTS HZ vehicles in commercials).
