Hi all, I've just picked up a pristine (manual)centre console for my HJ ute. There was no console fitted previously so I am going to need some mounting brackets for the front and rear mounting points. Is there somewhere you can still purchase these or is it a case of fashion up your own these daze? I am in WA. Thanks in advance for sharing your wealth of knowlege !
Lucky Phil
