MUD Defender Console - Pre 1999

The MUD Centre Console solves the problem of where to mount those extra switches and gauges in the Defender dashboard without having to resort to a homemade DIY dashboard.

The MUD Defender Console is supplied as a blank moulding to provide the user with the flexibility to create their own unique dash layout that best satisfies their requirements.

Each MUD Console comes complete with a steel mounting frame including end-plates, all fixings required and an easy-to-follow fully illustrated step-by-step fitting guide. 

The recesses within the MUD Console will accept the standard sized 52mm auxiliary gauges and Mud's popular Carling Technologies 'Contura II' switches and warning lamps.

Both the upper and lower central recessed mouldings are wide enough to accept up to three 52mm gauges or up to seven of the Carling switches. For a seven switch installation using the Carling interlocking mounts, use two interlocking ends and five interlocking centres.

This is designed and manufactured in the UK, the MUD Defender Replacement Console is moulded from tough ABS plastic and even sports a textured finish that replicates the OE finish on the Defender dashboard.

The MUD Console will fit both Right Hand Drive and Left Hand Drive Defenders.
The two circular mouldings within the console provide a neat method of relocating the standard rear-wash wipe switch (if fitted) and the 12v cigar lighter/power socket. 
Mud's heavy-duty Marine grade 12v and USB sockets will also fit into the recess.
The unique design of the MUD Centre Console allows you to mount your DIN sized CD/Tuner head unit into one of two positions within the console and still leave plenty of room for all those ancillaries while at the same time presenting a factory look and a quality finish.
The sides of the MUD Console are wide enough to accept a 52mm gauge or up to two of the Carling Technologies switches.
The MUD Console also provides the ideal spot for mounting a CB radio. The compact Midland 98 unit illustrated below has been mounted into the console using a dedicated Midland DIN mount.
