JurassicBGTS Posted April 12, 2023 Report Share Posted April 12, 2023 Still not 100% convinced on the round dash vents on the 718 vs the smaller more streamlined 981 vents, but what I don't like is the reflection that the newly positioned Chrono clock gives in the windscreen. It's much further back and really reflects on the screen, why have they moved it so far back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks soo much better set back IMO, I have never noticed about reflections to be honest ill look harder next time i go out in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red rocket Posted April 13, 2023 Report Share Posted April 13, 2023 But more importantly, does the top of the binnacle at least match the rest of the dash Rob? 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The centre arm rest storage on the 981 is to shallow to contain my beautifully curved and colour coded Oakley sun glasses it's soooooo annoying. 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menoporsche Posted April 13, 2023 Report Share Posted April 13, 2023 Topbox, when we had Gatorade as a member briefly (remember her?) she complained and then commented she'd found an elasticated storage net that clipped between the seats across the bulkhead. I bought one and it is primarily used for storing my (curved) Oakleys as the torpedo case is too big for the other storage areas. Yes it unclips itself occasionally but it's generally great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's called a "glovebox" but it can be used for sunglasses and other items as well. Might be worth a try anyway. You're welcome mate 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topbox Posted April 13, 2023 Report Share Posted April 13, 2023 @Menoporsche @Stuart21UK @Davey P thank you for your kind suggestions but I'm devastated you all clearly think I am really that shallow. 🤣🤣🤣 That net things sounds handy though Meno, could it hold a small camera do you think ???

Menoporsche Posted April 13, 2023 Report Share Posted April 13, 2023 (edited) Think of it as a rectangle of stretchy mesh, typical mesh pocket stuff, with an elasticated strap (thin parachute cord?) and hook at each corner. Very vaguely a foot by six inches, maybe 8x4in. I clipped the bottom two hooks under each seat, and the top two on the hooks you pull up to tilt the seat back forward. The main problem is those upper hooks (in the 987) are only held on by friction, very little friction, and as the elastic pulls partly to the centre it therefore pulls the hook off its mount. Maybe I could experiment with a low adhesion glue of some sort, but for 10 years CBA. I don't even know if it's still made and I can't remember where I got it. Perhaps someone could search around ebay for "elasticated car pocket" or similar? Sorry JurassicBGTS, I don't know if you can strap it over the chrono clock Edited April 13, 2023 by Menoporsche 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menoporsche Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 @Topbox @BBB I typed in Car Storage Net on ebay and quite quickly got several hits including this. It's got three pockets rather than one, but what I have is pretty much like this. You can see several others on offer as well, see if they are better. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/394211494069?hash=item5bc8d608b5:g:uUwAAOSwRI9hkiUo&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA4GCiofFj4VozyLoQac4W7ngDQ4w0yXAqk3wobli5kOXEavLidDztIkRZY8zwpC7YEK2gXILm95859bB9%2FvHKjb6dF8yVsSBClcZrYSs1gKNqFM9dRP1tJnRV2iiKCirH%2FZlXmORGUQ9PojXsh%2FPj%2BviE1ssbyYRP0yxlbF5FhvP5pNafsgDK5GiokeIZ76ybuXSE1sXZPGs10hgzQ72Wlj0mLrDmo65myomWMZUwxyaYSHKxGE9Biiocrjzv54kLRq1OBvzwqtv%2BbEaEmE%2BCqAoWEQ5ncM4VCqBF6ImIXygk|tkp%3ABFBMkpv2-O9h 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBB Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 I wonder if this sort of thing would fix to the carpet behind the seats, so the net is behind both seats? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2x-Elastic-Storage-Net-Orgainzer-Mesh-For-Cargo-Van-Motorhome-Home-Caravan-Boat/394510444203 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
