I know I've seen them and read them but I cannot find them through the search function. I'm looking for write-ups on fixing the broken plastic tabs on the shift console, can anyone post up the links? Thanks in advance, this is for a 69.

Screw and glue. If I remember correctly, they just screw into the console from the bottom but I added a JB weld type of epoxy to add strength. Mine is still together after 6 months, no problems.
