Center Console

[Mr. kazimi]

Hello,

 

I am in the process of reinstalling my center console in my 1973 240z. I replaced the rubber boots but I'm not sure how the choke wire should be reinstalled. if possible a step by step procedure for installing the center console will be most appreciated.

 

Thanks

First off, you have to remember how you pulled it out in the first place. Then you can put it back in reverse order. A mechanics book for your year should help too.

The problem I took it off 4 months ago. I could not locate a manual describing how to reinstall it.

I just did this a few weeks ago:

 

1) Attach choke lever/cable to console outside the car, install leather shift boot on console, remove shift knob.

2) Install rubber grommet in firewall.

3) Place console in car between seats but not in the proper position yet.

4) Thread the choke cables into the grommet holes. Spray the cables with some silicone spray to help them slide through the grommet.

5) Alternate sliding the console forward and pushing/pulling the choke cables through the grommet until you get the console in position. In the end you have to lift the console over the shift lever and maneuver it into place under the radio/over the fusebox.

6) Install screws to hold down console and install shift knob.

7) Attach choke cable ends to carbs.

8) Crank, Vroom, Squeal.

 

Hope that helps.
