3d printing 240 RHD stereo single din fascia

[philroche]

Hi all,

In a quest to upgrade the stereo on my, yet to be collected, 240 I went on a hunt for a single din adapter for the upper dash stereo fascia/plate for a right hand drive 240. I found it in the parts catalogue (part 1384796-7) but there were none to be found anywhere.

Then I thought maybe I could 3d print it so my search ended up on thingverse which has free/open source 3d models of all kinds of things. One was a LHD model of the plate - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4069054 . My 3d modelling skills are non existent so I went to fiverr.com and https://www.fiverr.com/mabdelaty/do-...or-amazon-ebay and paid only €17 to get the model reversed/flipped to RHD.

I then paid a 3d printing firm here in Ireland https://www.3dqube.com/ €35 to print and ship the part to me. It has yet to arrive but so that I can keep the original stereo in tact and ready for replacement should I ever wish I thought it a neat solution.

I have uploaded the RHD model to thingverse now @ https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4904146 for anyone else to use.

Note that I have yet to try the part and will report back here when I do.

I hope this helps future stereo upgraders.

Now to hunt for a non destructive way to bypass the stock amp
