I finished fitting a console in my 914 today. Pleased with how it turned out. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) There's only just space for my big right foot on the gas pedal, though - feels like it may catch on the brake pedal if I'm not careful...

Looks great!!! I had to remove mine. I wear a size 13 & there simply wasn't enough room unless I drove bare footed.

This is one of the reasons I went with the Amco console. Here's a photo from early in my install.

As finished. The downside is that the wires are visible, but they do not interfere with my foot on the throttle.

Very nice, Steve ... does the bulge at the top of that unit not interfere with your knee? Also, what is the big air tube behind it for? (Not to cool your gauges, presumably?!)

I put an A/C outlet near my feet believing one on the dash would interfere with my knees. It turned out there was plenty of room under the dash and I have since added an outlet there. The wider stack of the Amco does not hit my knee, either.
