  Are center console mounting brackets used to attach the console to the drive line tunnel? I can’t seem to find any information in the Tiger Workshop Manual or referenced in forum threads. My Tiger was completely apart when I bought it. The console seems to be a little bit wider than the tunnel it mounts to, and the screw holes in the console seem to be about a half an inch above the hole pattern in the tunnel.
  Thanks

  No mounts are used-just a few small sheet metal screws. Is the console the original one that came with the car with the ashtray mounted to the front of it ? Not sure why the screw holes don’t line up maybe the carpet is causing the height difference? Eric

  Hi Eric,
  The console I have does have the ashtray on the front (not sure it was the original with the car as all parts I got with the stripped down car were in boxes). It seems correct. I will check the carpet or possible other interference as you suggest. Not sure that is the problem yet.
  I know the early 1960s falcons with consoles had mounting brackets, thats why I posed the question about the Tiger console.
  Thanks

  Eric,
  Just wanted to post a quick update. It was operator error — me. I inserted the console by lowering it into place. Now that might seem logical but …
  when I inserted the back of the console against the package shelf and then lowered the front of the console in place it fit perfectly. I’m blaming old age. LOL
  Thanks
  Gene
