74 coupe question

I recently purchased a 74 coupe and am redoing the interior which I have started to remove. My question is how do I remove the e-brake cover from the car,the front console and guage cluster have been removed.

Good to get an Assembly Instruction Manual (AIM)

I believe you have a screw maybe a 3/8" socket head that you have to undo from inside the compartment behind the seats. Located in the center. Also a couple of screws, one on each side which you likely found already.

Hope this helps.

The one in the back of the console is easy to get out and a pain to get back in. At least it was for me and for some reason, I had to install and remove that dude more than once for some reason.

The '74 AIM will help. It shows the installation of the bolt you're looking for.

When I put mine back in on my 72 I cut a 1/4" bolt and used it as a stud and ran it all the way thru the nut on the e-brake console and then locked it down with a nut and installed it with the new stud. It helped me a lot from trying to get a bolt started in the rear
compartment.
