This first picture is the original Lower Insert I made and is the one I will be forming next, but without the clock opening or recess.
The second picture is one of the second 5-speed versions of the Insert, with its original rectangular shifter opening, together with the form that is now revised with a much larger opening. I'll have to make the male part of the form to match the larger opening and then I'll form a couple in that configuration.
I'm still working on this, Rob, for you and Toby, but I am bumping this thread for RFJ who is expressing some current interest.

I victimized the clock and cut the stock shift frame a lttle bit .
Lots of space to mount an Alpine INE-W710 2Din 7" Nav system just like a normal radio . Glue a small ureol support onto the transmission tunnel . The Alpine device has 3kg weight . The center console plastic is too weak to hold that weight without this backing . Ureol is a rapid prototyping material.
Total working time approx. 3 hours.
Small effort, big result
Best advantage : No more hassles with optical discs
It's been a long time since this thread had any activity, but I don't know a better place to mention this. I bought one of jerry's flush consoles back in 2014, used it in my GT for some years, but later returned the car to stock and sold it.
I have all the console parts separated and ready to go for another owner. Of importance is that my car was a '90, so a two airbag dash. The center console insert has a different corner shape than the earlier dash layout.
It looks to me like my design of the flush center Console for the 928 to adapt the Double DIN Nav/stereo/raadiao units is pretty much obsolete. I think the modern Double DIN units are so very shallow that there is no need to flush the center Console.
