Spray foam!! Brilliant, I'm off to do that to mine right now. Cheers Mike!

[@BritannicaRestorations]

Spray foam, duct/gaffer tape and a hammer It's all you need in your tool box... lol! Mike

[@Ankeneering]

Defenders are so watertight ;) I’d investigate using nautically sourced instruments in this panel. A double DIN with weather band made for a boat could possibly last a little longer in that particular application/location.

Hey Mike, just double check all the sd card slots on your new stereo as I thought I had the same problem. There was a second sd card slot I hadn't seen which had the card in with the maps. Failing that you can buy the cards on eBay for about £15 ish. Look for mini sd card with winCe maps. Hope that helps

[@BritannicaRestorations]

There was nothing in the slots - I will check out eBay - never thought of that! Mike

Great video 👍 there's enough space at the top for small CB radio ( fantastic if you have no mobile signal but still need help) or just chat with your mate out on the trail

[@BritannicaRestorations]

Hmm, there's an idea Mike

[@metaldog7128]

Britannica Restorations Ltd : just some options but there lots and lots of them out there 👍 kzbin.info/www/bejne/onXHi4Grhd6rhKM

Hey Mike, what did you use to hold the radio into the MUD center dash?

[@BritannicaRestorations]

It was one of those real light radios - no CD etc so just used hot glue gun - still in!

[@michaelleigh2446]

great upload Mike, but the most intersting bit for me was your fan blower switch, how did you change that from the "scalextric trigger" type to a proper knob

[@BritannicaRestorations]

Quite easy - I did away with the heater controls and only have and windscreen and floor control - so I re routed the heater wires to the 2 speed switch - look for my heater modifications

@@BritannicaRestorations thanks Mike I didn't realise the lever wasn't constantly variable and just a switch have you any idea what the big blue multiplug is for behind instrument panel.

Cracking job!

Thats great Mike! How opportune! I just bought a MudUK dash as well. But no double DIN unit as yet. Do you know the maximum depth the Double DIN can be? I am eying a Kenwood short body with a shallow installation depth of 75mm. Will I have 75 mm space? Thank you Mike!

[@BritannicaRestorations]

I will have to measure but here is the unit I bought www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B075LC5TPG/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&th=1 says 3.2 inch depth = 81mm and there is bags of room behind

[@desertbreeze1620]

Thats brilliant!

[@BritannicaRestorations]

I just measured mine - max depth 228mm, 177mm from the front to where the plastic tray starts You will be OK Mike

[@desertbreeze1620]

That is soooo kind of you!

[@BritannicaRestorations]

No problem - part of the service Mike

[@garrettmandujano2996]

Awesome stuff!! Thank you sir!

Glad you liked it!

И вся стружка полетела в слот SD и USB. Молодец, ничего не скажешь...

[@brianjones1151]

I use CD's mate ! I'm sure there are others !?

[@888johnmac]

same.. i think the only place most people still use music CD's is in their car

[@mrcvry]

Have not used them for over 10 years. Why if you can carry the content of thousands of cd’s in your phone?

[@tomnscrubs]

Kid in UK actually shows how to install it

[@patrickjobling8676]

Strooth squadron leader.. im norr sure of all this spagetti n squeekers n squarkers ... 😁jolly good carryon pip pips

[@Mike7O7O]

Put a G meter in the space above your double din unit ;)

[@BritannicaRestorations]

G-meter in a Defender!? More like a cuckoo clock and a calender!

[@arbit3r]

You use mirror link to connect your phone to it via Bluetooth and use Google maps. Built in maps are useless on these cheap units.

[@The-ir1vj]

can you add a link as to where to buy the chinese switches from online please

[@BritannicaRestorations]

I got them on Alibaba
