VX Cruiser overhead compass/altimeter console use?

Has anyone installed a UHF radio into their compass/altimeter console?

I am thinking of gutting mine out and fitting a GME TX3120S UHF raido up there. http://www.trademe.co.nz/a.aspx?id=754454605

Is this console easy to remove?

edit;
Another option I have thought of, when looking at the Auber website, is to use this console to house some Auber gauges in it.

I could use these dual gauges for a nice clean fit. No need to have them in my line of sight as you only need to glance at them when the alarm is triggered?

I have got the idea from here http://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/gauges-engine-monitoring-auber-instruments.805211/

GME radio fits and looks awesome up there.
Easy to use and easy to hear and out of the way.

Will take pics for ya when I next go into the cruiser ;-)
