When the rear suspension consoles are removed and replaced, or just plain replaced, the ties between them get messed up.
Only one of the two ties are still available.
I did a fair amount of searching and couldn't find any real write-up showing what to do.
So,
Here is a link to show how I fabricated replacements;

I thought you guys might find it interesting.

Hey Wes,
Nice post. That is the first time I have seen someone address that area on our cars. Keep up the good work, we are all watching with anticipation.

What a weird coincidence. I just did mine last weekend. I was wondering if
these bits were aftermarket console stiffening or if they were factory.
I made mine using paper templates, then tacked them on and finished fitting
them using a hammer. I used 16 gauge for mine, hope that is good enough.
I had to replace my inner console because it was crumbling with rust.
Good post and pictures Wes, wish I had seen this before doing mine.
I need to drill the drain holes.
I know my welds are ugly but I try not to grind too much to avoid annoying
my neighbors...

Nice write up. I think I should see how mine are. I really don't know
Nice write up. Thanks for taking the time.
So let me ask --- after you drill the drain holes, is there anything that should be sprayed up inside that area to kill any rust that's there or prevent any new from forming after all the heat?
