MG Midget and Sprite Technical - Radio Console

Hi Guys,

I still would like a proper radio console in my Sprite.

I have been lucky enough to talk to an individual who has a console in his pre 74 car which appears to have been fitted at a dealer, the post 75 ones just don't fit in the earlier cars.

He has sent me some plans/drawings, linked here:

Can any of you give me a rough idea how much it would cost to get one made?

Failing that, how tricky would it be to make something like this:

Thanks again

can you explain why you think the post-75 ones won't fit earlier cars? As far as I'm aware the internal shell dimensions are identical back to when the Frogeye-type dash was changed to the later type.
