Default Center console delete assistance

Hello all, I am trying to search on center console deletes and can't seem to find anything definitive on parts, kits or the like so I am not sure if it is just a bespoke trial and error with some custom upholstery. I bought the Rennline radio delete panel for the switches, but I just do not know if there is anyone who has a diy for the remaining steps.

I am in the process of this now. FSH.de sold me a new console front that gets grafted onto the front of the console near the shifter. Not cheap but I'll refinish it and glass it in and recover it in leather. Piece looks like this. I like the open look of my 71 and adapted my switch plate and center console to match my preferences.

Hi User A,
Just a thought as I have not done this:
Consider reaching back to an earlier 911 parts catalog for the required finish parts.
Take a look at the 1974 to 1977 catalog for the rubber shifter boot and possibly other parts such as the brake lever or its housing.

Just a thought. If you are inclined to do a bit of modification to the stock unit, it is made of ABS and very easy to work with using ABS sheet, tube and ABS cement.

Also note the stock unit can be converted easily to the more open Euro RS spec if that is acceptable to you. I had to do a lot of modification the console for a new shifter and in pictures here you can see the patch work with ABS tube and sheet grafted into the console.



and finished product.
