That's what I was thinking also. I'm going to try epoxy to fix the broke part.

I just hate that I got the older one and then not do anything with it. If what I plan to do doesn't work I will buy the newer one. I may buy it anyway just so I can get the interior done.

Try super glue to fix cracks. The material soaks it up like a sponge and connects the parts very solidly almost instantly. At least give it a try.

I have heard that the aftermarket consoles aren't that good. The quality isn't very good and they don't accept the factory trim rings. I'm not sure if this is true with the one posted above. But I would ask the questions before purchasing one.

Andy4639 · 11-20-2014, 10:06 PM

YBNORML,
yea I was wondering about the quality of them myself.
I'm going to give the old one a try and after Grumpy old man reply I have found all kinds of Stainless steel ones. I can get the flat peice made and have the SS drop ins to go with them. I found these to!
