Don't know the name of this but I got it installed and the little screws are a real pain, then I had to take it out because I installed the latches the wrong way around (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Test fitting the shifter and heater lever to start trimming the carpet for the center tunnel. Also needed to fit them so I could see how I was going to attach the center console.

Looking good! Have bookmarked this thread and look forward to reading the entire thing later. I might hit you up for some of your suppliers as I am in IB which is probably close to you.

Yes, let me know if you need any help, I am in Spring Valley so not far from you.

My car did not come with a center console but since I really like the look of them I decided to add one. I bought the console from AA and I really like the way it looks and how it is made. My car didn't have the wiring for the instruments or the heater indicator in the harness, so I had to wire all those up also.

Her it is all wired up. Brackets were made to attach to the existing bolts for the heater lever and the shifter, this way no holes were drilled into the center tunnel in order to mount the console. Sorry I forgot to take pictures of the little brackets that I made.

Here just making sure that everything works as it should.

Then after some clean up.

The joy of seeing it all nice and tidy didn't last long because I had to remove the console to start working on the center tunnel carpet. Now that I had all the wiring and brackets made, I could fit the carpet. Since I know I might have to take the carpet off again in the future i decided to affix it with Velcro instead of glue.

Very clean!

Yes Spring Valley is very close, I will take you up on your offer when I start work in earnest on mine. Look forward to seeing it when you are done and taking it out in public!

I got called out by Dion for not keeping up to date on my build thread (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif) so here goes. I have been working on the car and it's almost finished but I will try and put up the pictures I have in sequence.

For a 72 the correct sill plates should be silver but I wanted to keep with the blacked out look so I decided to purchase the black set from 914 rubber.

Then continuing the installation of the center console, I followed some other posts that I found that were very helpful and installed the amp inside the console.

At this stage I was pretty much ready to test run the engine. I extended the wires from the car to the engine that I had mounted on blocks to the side. Hooked up the fuel pump to a gas can and she was ready to go. I was surprised that it fired up right away without cranking the engine over too much.

I had a small oil leak coming from the oil pump so I removed it and put a new gasket in that was a little bit better and it cleared it right up. I kept running the engine like this for a couple of days while adjusting the carburetors and the timing. After I was satisfied that everything was ok it was time to get it into the car.
