At Long Last! 5.0 Resto 1987-1993 Fox Body Mustang Center Console - Review & Full Install

Описание: As you hear me say in other videos, the center console for a 1987-1993 Fox Body Mustang has been a long time coming! Trust me when I say this. We had to go through quite a few revisions before we felt like it was right. After all, we’re dealing with Fox Body Mustangs; not one is ever the same!

The 5.0 Resto 1987-1993 center console is a reproduction of the original with a few subtle changes to make it better. The console incorporates OEM dimensions and tolerances, factory grain and texture, and accurately placed mounting locations.

The changes that we did with the 5.0 Resto console are listed below:

1. The upper area under the shifter bezel has material removed so you can service the shifter assembly without removing the entire console.

2. Instead of plastic nut-serts at the front of the console that secure the top panel, we include two metal j-nuts. The metal j-nuts are a much better long-term solution than the plastic nut-serts.

3. The rearward tabs at the rear of the console that help secure either the factory armrest assembly or a delete panel were extended approximately 1mm. Doing this helps secure the previously mentioned components.

Remember, the areas around the radio are charcoal black. We have this paint listed under the FV7 color code in the store.
