My '74 has the optional center console with the 3-gauge package; I currently have oil temp, pressure, and volts in there. I'm giving thought to removing that console entirely to give myself some more lateral knee room and stop my big feet from catching on the forward edge of the console body. I can relocate my oil temp reading back into the combo gauge, and if I feel the need for volts and pressure (eh) I can move those to the radio blocking plate (no need for radio, too busy enjoying driving!)
I've seen posts where folks have removed the console and liked it. Has anyone here removed the console and regretted it, or not installed it and wish they had? Anything else I'll need to buy except the combo gauge (already have it) and a replacement piece of central hump carpet from Mark (I trimmed mine when I installed it) and a shiny new shift boot? - Greg (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i1201.photobucket.com-15565-1487195560.1.jpg) |
