bugeye centre console conversion
I have just bought the Hawkeye centre console I have bugeye wagon and was wondering is it just a straight swap over was reading something about the handbrake on another post or is that the other way around??

Hi, no it's not a straight swap. I started to do it on my old blob then got fed up.
You have the DCCD switch which you won't have, also on the bug your wiingmirror controller is in/on the centre consol where as on hawk it's on the drivers side where the window switches are.
Also I found that it wouldn't sit in place so I think you 'maybe' need to make a bracket up for behind the centre console.
Also yeah handbrake needs to be switched.

Yeah you need the handbrake, if you bought it as a 'conversion kit' it should have came with handbrake, id ring them back and say.
