Coin box removal

I am interested in removing the coin box to the left of the steering wheel (left hand drive). Can anyone give me some direction. I am betting the hinge just snaps in, but I have tried pulling it out, and it is putting up some resistance, and I don't want to break it.

Thanks,

Andrew

Coinbox removal Why?

Monchie,

My bright idea is to mount an oil temp gauge there for track days. I can unplug it an put the coin box in when I change my mind about it later. It won't be super visible, but my gauge has and alarm so at least I can be alerted before the crap really hits the fan.

I still haven't gotten it out - I understand squeezing the sides to get it past the stops, but I haven't force the hinge to separate yet. With the weather getting warmer I will be willing to put more muscle into it with less fear of breaking cold, brittle plastic.

Thanks,

Andrew

Just pull straight out after you get past the stops. The hinge is just a clip on either side. I took mine out yesterday
