I have a shorty console for my 4 speed, 71 Stage1. First off I got the brackets for it from TPP, I assume they are the correct ones. Where do these go[measurements,etc] ? And were they welded in originally ? If you want a really nice chrome job, I highly recommend Custom Chrome Plating in Grafton,OH . Heres the piece of my console that I just picked up today
There was only one bracket used on the A body. Here is a pic of an original floor pan showing the bracket for the rear two holes, and you can see the hole in the floor pan for the front screw.
