Title: Console bracket
Post by: ruppstang on April 01, 2024, 10:36:48 AM

Yesterday while installing the console bracket on the under dash of our 67 barn find convertible7T03T170334 built 12-22-66 I found that the bracket was too wide for the factory holes in the dash.  The bracket and console came from my parts car 7F01S140695 built 10-30-66. Center to center measurement on the holes of the convertible are 7 1/4. The holes on the bracket measures 7 3/4.  I really do not think this was a difference between Dearborn and Metuchen plants because all of the console withs are the same. Has anyone ever seen this before?

Is it a A/C console ?

It is an AC console but that makes no difference in the top bracket.

Ruppstang,
This happened to me a few years ago when I was installing my console.  See link above.  I was able to flex the bracket and get it in place.
Thanks
