I'm trying to replace the console in my 'tour. I want a good spot to put my new LCD--sick of the 5.6". I'm wondering if a 98+ mondeo's (australian) center console will fit in a 99 'tour. Ideas, advice? [image]http://www.fordmondeo.org/gallery/Chilldukes/inside_at_castle_combe[/image]

why not just get a pre 98 console?

I'm pretty sure the upper part of the console (where it meets the dash) is different (shorter). How big is your LCD? You might be able to cut apart a pre-'98 like I did and make it fit.

Edit: Just saw in your sig it's a 7.2" monitor. That might require some extra work.

i think this is gonna be your main problem, the curvature of the area around the e-brake is not gonna look right as it is gonn point towards your passenger....just go to a junkyard and get a pre98 center console, looks just like it and you know it will fit.......
