fludey Member 10 Member For: 20y 8m 1d Posted 01/06/05 12:44 AM Share Posted 01/06/05 12:44 AM Hi all,Just wired up a SE car kit in my Turbo but be f**cked if I can find anywhere to mount the phone cradle. So, if anyone could give me any ideas or even better post a pic of where yours is mounted I would be eternally grateful.Cheers,Fludey Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/17956-where-to-mount-phone-cradle/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Not my pic but in the same place as mine) Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/17956-where-to-mount-phone-cradle/#findComment-258505 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even matches the original Ford colouring. This means that you can remove the bracket at a later date and not leave any holes.If you want to, I can take a picture and post it.

jdo Member 88 Member For: 20y 10m 22d Location: Mosman Posted 01/06/05 07:17 AM Share Posted 01/06/05 07:17 AM Yup Gaz. The Telstra-sanctioned installers (the Telstra shop gives you their card when you buy/get a carkit from them) offer a "hole-free" mounting solution, and I believe their spiel mentions Falcons and Crummydores specifically (being two of the main business/fleet cars in Aus). I'm sure they said it comes in the form of a clip-in rather than a bolt-in dealie.

Sorry I don't have a picture but I could get you one later if you like.
