Where to fit the CD unit (XJ40 Sovereign 1994)?

Postby BigCatXJS » Fri Sep 25, 2015 7:17 pm

Hi All,

Apologies if this already been covered elsewhere :oops:

I now have a 6 disc unit ready to install. I have located the cd cable, connected-up the unit and tested; all good! I was then hoping to suspend the unit horizontally in much the same way as I had done with my old X300. Unfortunately no such luck; I could well be blind, but I could not locate any threads that would match up with the brackets :|

So any idea where the unit is meant to mounted? I'm out of ideas currently and would like avoid drilling any holes!

Many thanks in anticipation,
Rich

Looks like I need 2 * JLM12228 (cd mount brackets). Really annoying as these look as rare as hens teeth :cry:

Ay Up Chief,

So would you happen to have two that could be for sale (brackets - not XJ40's - in enough trouble already!) ? :D

I'd be grateful if you could PM me with what you would want for them ££s wise.

Cheers, Rich
