Center console wtb

[954paulo]

Does anyone know where I can find a center console top part. I'm looking to swap it into my truck and modify it slightly for a manual shifter

Not sure you will have enough room for the shifter throw with automatic top part. Make sure you post some pics and show us what you figured out.

Some careful trimming of the console and a small Chanel cut in the shifter it looks and works great.

This was the hurst shifter installed with oem console and boot...... Ewwww looks dinky.

Trimming and cutting done. I debated welding some support braces to the shifter but after 5 minutes of testing the shifter on a vise it was not flexing at all. So some touch up paint to keep the rust off.

Ps only gets that close in 3rd. 1st and 5th go in without getting close at all to the trim

After this pic I put Velcro tape around the bottom of the boot frame and the opposite Velcro tape on the shifter base. Boot is removable and stays perfectly in place.

The hurst knob in the picture looks nice but is a POS. Plastic and weighs nothing. So for now I have my old rx8 knob that's about a pound in its place, awaiting the one I ordered online.

As a bonus I was able to remove all those ugly switches I installed years ago and relocate them to toggles in the bezel and the other 2 just below the dash. Haven't figured out where to put my heated seats controls yet.

I like it! Might be able to find a different shift arm to work around that boot. They have quite a selection: :link:

Yeah I was looking. They have them with a small s curve I might order

I cut down and did major mods to a Daystar 5 switch mount for a jeep and mounted it where the change holder is on my H3. Chris has pics of it. It looks like it was made to go there.

Paulo as for mounting light switches I love the way scoreh3 did his mount. I'll post pics

I met him at work. He's got a nice h3 and does a lot of work down in baja for the races and knows rod hall. You should do a intro thread and introduce yourself!

That looks awesome, Chris. What did you use to slant them up?

 

[954paulo]

That looks really clean....

I mounted mine with toggle switches where the two slots are in the radio bezel.


06h3 I think I read someplace you had rear sway bar disconnects? Any info on this

yea, you have OEM links Correct?

Mine are rancho end links for a 4in lift and instead of using bolts I used a clevis pin from lowes like this

then a pin to hold it in place. Thats for the rancho end links though.
