Spent the last week, going through this whole thread. (learnt a lot) wonderful documentation of the second life of this 45. Went to a good home!

New set of JIS screwdrivers from the jungle store. Money…. Get some.

Got a few things done, Elbow saver for my freedom seed console. I used 5/8” ply, 3 layers of cheap yoga Matt and stapled down a cover from some old material I found at Salvation Army. Perfect height for driving. Also fitted a blue sea 1045 usb charger, and a ram phone holder to the dash...
