Radio console or faceplate replacement?
 

Anyone have information where you can obtain console or faceplate for radio? This boat is very well built and you would have thought mariah would have come up with a better design.

Yes, actually i do. You could take the time to do a site search for Radio Console and you would find lots of info including who on our site sells replacements. Or alternatively you can check out this thread.

Thanks, I appreciate info. I had read that thead but saw it was from 2009 and that he had only one left.

I'm pretty sure Mike still has a few around. Alternatively you could check out ebay since i see reproductions advertised there also. Send him a PM if you are interested.

He has posted his phone number. I'll give him call and in the meantime I'll check ebay. I'll post any new information that I find for other members who may have the same problem. Thanks again for your help!!!

FYI - Mike (95 Z240 Talari) is the one who sells them on ebay. He used the template one of our members (Randy Jobe) designed, and has them produced through a connection he has with a fabrication shop. They look to be a pretty good replica and seem to be much more durable than the factory plastic. He sells quite a few of them on ebay!

If you have any connections with fab or manufacturing shops, here's the template Randy came up with:

I, recently purchased one from Mike via Ebay and installed it today. It looks great, very sturdy compared to factory faceplate. Had a little problem with temperature L.E.D display bolts but nothing a little gorilla glue couldn't handle. Overall I'am very satisfied and would reccomend anyone whose faceplate needs replaced to contact mike or go to Ebay and search Mariah radio faceplates. I'll, post some photos of how nice it looks,soon!!! Thanks, to everybody for their much appreciated input

Thanks for the info. I actually coyld use that peice and may order one. However, the piece I need the most is the actual vinal dash piece that encases the stereo console. That is the one that I can't seem to find

I am about to install a new bezel for my 1995 Z 220. Does anyone know if there's anyting I need to be aware of/tricks to taking the switches off?

I'm worried once I start, i may open can or worms that will require more that a simple removal of the switches.

Thanks!
