Hi Roger -

Not sure what you are trying to describe, but honestly that lower bracket
is totally unnecessary (do you mean this one?
https://mossmotors.com/805-436-plate-console-to-gearbox-cover).

I leave it off to make removing the console and tunnel much easier, they
have to come out from time to time.  Dash and everything is very solid
without this in place.

Cheers,

Alan

I think I understand your question now.  You have to remove the bracket
completely, and re-install it after the console is in place on top of the
tunnel.  That's why I don't use it.

Thank you.
Yes that is the culprit.
It obviously is a problem and the carpet pile and sound insulation does not
help either.
Will just get on without it !
