center console lower & upper

Post by richfolsom »

How do you guys mount these? I pretty much have mine wedged in, but if I hit a bump, it all falls apart. Any ideas?

The lower conole has one screw in the back below the ashtray/coin holder and two at the very front, one on each side.
The radio console screws to the lower console.

When you screw the radio console in use four screws when you line it up with the top dash and the bottom console on the outside. Two screws in the far back and two int he front where the top and bottom consoled overlap. Use a screw that is long enough to get some thread into the console but not so long that if pops through the other side more than 1/8 of an inch. A lot of wires behing the console.

That is all you need. take a look at some of the interior pictures of spiders and you already have the part and the screw holes. Your going to ne4ed to get the wiring rehooked. In particular, that hazzard switch controls things like turn signals.

yeah, mine didn't have the screw holes. I guess I should just get some of those self drilling screws?
