Crazy K Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 my rear console is still loose... but it was installed on sunday. the biggest concern is the issue of the fuel tank being directly beneath the floor. in the rear. I probably has clearance for 1/2 inch tappers, but I need to make a pilot hole and check. But i have the original mounts. You;ll see a pair of holes in the front and rear on the sides of the console. thats where it originally attached to the moutns which were attached to the floor. I'd fab up four L brackets, or ask if someone can sell you the oem mounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rakooon Posted September 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 ya i seen those holes ..i just hate drilling to make it planted but so be it...thanx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOT2B GM Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 I just used the rear most mount (closest to the trunk) and carefully drilled small pilot holes and used short self tapping screws. I also siliconed around the holes to keep exhaust fumes from coming inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSI_MuNkY Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 I think the best way to mount them would be to go to your local hardwhere store and pick up some nuts and bolts, CAREFULLY figure out where you want the console and then using a prduct like JB Cold Weld fasten the bolt to the floor. When this stuff hardens, its like steel. I used it on a dicast model then had to shape it... I killed my dremel tool trying to cut the stuff! There are 2 reasons I say attach the bolt to the floor 1)if you attach the nut and you have to screw the bolt in more you will have to cut the bolt 2)if you have the bolts glued to the floor they will act as alignment tools to get the console in place. The reason I say do this carefully is because once those things are stuck down, they aren't moving, so you want to make sure you have the console nice and straight. Myself, that console doesn't match the rest of my interior, so I'm cutting up a couple front ones and building a custom rear console... just don't have time lately to finish it.

1990lumina Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 I'd kill for those AQ9s and the rear buckets....then people would stop bitching about how crappy my seats are lol.... I like Jamie's suggestion!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
