Or just questions about consoles in general.
the first question is about the mounting plates.
Are they interchangeable or are they limited by brand or specific type of console?
would a jotto faceplate work in a havis console with minimal modifications?
would it be easier to home brew a faceplate?
where would the best place to look for faceplates for a havis consolidator?

Thanks

Jotto and Troy faceplates are interchangeable. Havis is not. If you try to use a Jotto/Troy faceplate in a Havis console it will be too narrow.

Dan (ka8ypy) can order anything from the Havis catalog; just shoot him a message.

The difference between the Havis and Jotto/Troy faceplates is about 1/8". The holes are about 1/16" wider on the Havis.

I just learned this when test fitting my Troy faceplates to the Havis console that I just acquired.

So I could take my havis console, cut 1/8 and inch out of the middle and weld it back up again so the troy/jotto stuff would work.... sounds easy enough....lol

Or you could just order the correct Havis faceplates, instead of doing it the hard way?

I don't recall there being a significant price difference between Jotto and Havis hardware.. in fact IIRC Jotto faceplates are more expensive.

I was just being a wiseass.... i have some face plates on the way that i got off ebay but the seller did not know if they were havis or troy. they were cheap enough. i am still waiting for one i purchased here two months ago that i know fits but that seller seems to be hiding now.

well the faceplates i got off of ebay were listed as troy but fit my havis perfectly.
they did have in the description that they were unsure if they were havis or troy so now i have more maxtrac mounts than i can use...lol.

What other mounts do you need?

as of right now i am trying to figure out what i can fit in the console. i may be looking for one or two for an a7 maratrac head and dek. it all depends on how many maxtracs i plan to squeeze in. I have some measuring to do tomorrow when im not at work.

ah those I dont have
sorry man.

If you go with a remote or dash mount spectra, i have brackets.

I have one dash mount spectra but i may use it as a base radio. my remote mount spectra is an a3. from what i have heard the a9 head spectra remote is the same size, shape and mounting as the a7 maratrac.
