				Will it work? Do the mounting holes in the plate match the mounting holes in the console?
Thanks!
Bob...

				I think -most- of the HS, JD and GJ stuff lines up...the Troy console I have is a wierd bird, so I end up having to get mine from Troy or build my own.
			 
			
					
				Havis with a Jotto

				Unforunatly the Havis Face plate will not line up perfectly in a Jotto Console- 
1st - The FP is slightly wider than the console - you will need to use a grinder to get it down in size , its not enough to make a cut. If you use a grinder keep in mind the havis black is actually a sticker on the FP so grind it from front to back so that you dont peel the sticker away- you basically will melt it backwards keeping it out of view.
2nd - the screw holes will not line up with the FP sitting flush - you will need make new holes in the console tract if you want everything flush (top and bottom ) and to use the face plate hole.  Drill a new hole in the tract - its much better then trying to force a tech screw in place - or you can oversize the FP hole to match up , but keep in mind that you can see that. Depending on your end product looks and needs will depend on the way for you to complete it.
