    Default center console

    Everyone knows the center console/arm rest tends to loosen or is already kind of wobbly. What have people done to tighten it up so there is no wobble? By wobble I mean when you place your arm on the rest the top can easily move side to side..
    Thanks,
    Paul

    On mine the screws that bolt the bracket to the floor were pulled out. I drilled them slightly larger and riveted the bracket to the floor pan.

    My elbow hated that rear compartment. And, it was always full of junk.

    Unfortunately, these parts don't fill up the junk yards like they used to.
    Made it easy to keep the original stashed away, then do crazy stuff to duplicates.
