I use a small hobby screw driver to line up the holes. A piece of coat hanger would probably work as well. I wish I knew of an easier way to do it, because even lining up the holes the way I did it wasn't all that easy.

lining up holes
That's the problem I have. I can't seem to line the holes up to get the screws in. Maybe I should try it in the dark lol. Just kidding. Anyone else got a tip.

I pushed and I mean pushed the shifter console as far forward as I possibly could and tightened it down.
Then I got the e-brake console mounted, after screwing that in loosely I loosened the shifter console to allow everything to fix where it wanted to.
Your results may vary.

What position is your E-brake handle in? Also is the rear of the E-brake console lined up with the bolthole in the center rear compartment?
Are all these parts already installed at some time or are some new pieces?

Screws
DZRick,
Thanks for the ideas. Yes, the shifter console is as far forward as I can get it. I've had this cover off before but have never been able to get screws back in. However, I've never had that rear screw in either. So my next move is to install that one and see if the others get close.
Thanks All,
andy

I completed this chore on the weekend on my 69. I just ran a bolt backward and inserted it inthe hole into the center compartment. My nice new plastic sliding gizmo that fills the slot the e brake moves in is in nice new plastic pieces now though. Used all my patience up fitting thr whole thing togetherI guess.
Anyone know were I can get my hands on a "Whisker Type" gizmo for in there that won't need to slide ?
