I'm wondering if Thomas has any spares. Germany is a lot closer to Norway!

Hi Craig & John,

I actually have two of the centre consoles, but as both cars had column shift, those brackets (I assume for floor shift) aren't there ... sorry!

Thanks for your reply, I am in the process of converting my 114 coupe from a column shift auto to a 5 speed manual, I bought a brand new unused old stock 5 speed in germany a couple of years ago.As the tranny was originally built for a r107 with an optic sensor for the speedo, I had to buy another tranny(used) to swap out the rear housing for the speedo. I had to also swap out the speedo wire as the gearbox had a square drive as apposed to the flat one originally in the car.This has been a rather challenging job as parts are hard to find. Have heard al sorts of stories about the crank and flywheel being balanced as a set though there are no indexing marks to find.. any way my tranny swap will soon be completed, waiting for the drive shaft to come back from the driveline shop where I had to have it lengthened it.. This very last detail is the console cover, hoping to have some luck here finding it.
