 Posted: Fri Jun 21, 2002 4:03 am Post subject: TD Centre Console |
 |
|
The centre console (the one around my gearstick) in my TD is pretty loose. I can see the screw holes in the side but what do I screw into.
Would it be ok to drill some holes into the body under the centre console and screw it in. I mean am I going to damage anything? How are they originally fixed in?
Cheers |

Yeah mate, when i changed my engine and tranny, i put a new console in there (a TE+ one, looks good). What I did was manufacture 4 bent aluminium strips and self tappered (using short screws) them into the lower part of the tranny tube housing. I then used the 4 screw points on the console to attach it. Its so easy to remove and get back in if need be.
Alternatively you can just go to the wreckers and get a console attachment thing (the little bent piece of yellowish metal).
Cheers mate |
