There is a plastic bracket or spacer of sorts that is often used with these consoles. I can't remember if they were on Blazer's or trucks but I have had several over the years. The console's all had four pre formed holes in their bottom area and none lined up with this spacer so I would guess that it was more of a brace then anything else. You could probably just use a piece of wood but bracing a plastic console is kind of wasted cause if you sit on it, it brakes. Now getting a 110lb young lady to kind of stretch across it in some form is another story ---for another time---on another board! hehehehe
