Marty, Neil,

Thanks for your assistance with the 68 Lime Gold console. Marty, thanks for letting me buy your extra console.

Here is the final result. Painted/dyed Lime gold from Black. Did some repairs on the plastic as well. Just don't know where the hardware screws go as I don't have a reference and the console was not original to the car.

Any post or article which would give me an idea of where they go? There are two below the ashtray, two on the front of the pad. Obviously I know which attach it to the floor. Two holes on front of console above heater vents. Finally several screws for the shifter plate.

Thanks, Wally

It looks like it turned out real nice. There is a great drawing in the interior 68 Mustang assembly manual. I think there may be some thing also in the 68 service manual.

In the second link it shows carpet installation and the use of a dimmer switch grommet. Our cars did not use the grommet. Just cut a tight fitting hole in the carpet for the dimmer switch. I have deducted many times for the grommet at MCA national shows.
