    ---Will, how did you mount the gauges in there?

    Sam M., that is very clean, I like it. What did that console come out of?

    I thank you gentlemen for your ideas.

    That console is out of a 1979 Lincoln Versailles.

    The pinto console has a trim plate that snaps on. I pulled it, and mounted the Bracket that came with the gauges on the main console body, then snapped the trim back in place.

    I think the Versailles console works great with buckets, and the pinto is the best for bench.:2cents:

    My measurement is 7.5 inches from the edge of the tray to the center of the shifter. Please be advised that this is not a factory floor-shift car.
