Help required.

Anyone got a "How to remove the centre console" in a Barchetta. I thought I had everything removed but something would not give.

So I thougt i'd ask if any one had a diagram showing how it comes apart.

Thanks.

Karen did a lovely guide....

removing console where is gear knob

1. remove gear knob leather cover and ashtray
2. unscrew 4 bolts where knob is, and there is one screw in ashtray.
3. start lifting up that console where are switches for windows.
4. unplug all connectors for lifting windows, fog lights and clock.

removing radio console

1. you will have to remove radio, because there are some bolts behind radio cover (adapter if you don't have original radio)
2. remove switches for cold-hot air, direction of blowing - just pull them out... behind middle one is another screw.
3. there are also 2 screws in bottom of that console.

i believe that's more/less all.


btw: if you decided to remove whole dash board - don't. you will need drilling tool, molder, hammer, crowbar... here is some info: https://www.fiatforum.com/barchetta/162386-how-remove-whole-console-table.html

Thank mate this is just what I need (Not the floor) but thanks Alan I will hold that for next years project.

It tlls you how to remove the centre console to get to the floor....

I think I came across all wrong.

I need to replace some dash bulbs only.

Thanks Guys.

In that case you just undo the allen bolts under the steering column and carefully take off all that plastic above and below. Then undo the allen bolts that hold the instrument binnacle in.

Easy.

And now you tell me LOL......

Yeah yeah all laugh. I did break the top part of the steering collum. Got annoyed and pulled to hard..... £15 on E-Bay DE for a new one. Fiat wanted £38!!!! no no no no no......

Ah, one rule to always remember when working on a b - if it does not come off either you have missed a screw or you need more WD40 - forcing things will always cost money!! (I speak from several bitter experiences )

Yeap that was what I broke. I hate it when it's not staring you in the face. Like the centre console. I thought I had everything but it would not come off.

If you pull hard enough it brakes! Oh sorry that's something else.

Ok next Q --- Is it easy to remove the entire softop \ frame???



Oh any web site sell plastic \ carbon fibre panels for the B???:idea:
