Front console mounts.

Byron, I'm confused. Which is correct? My HQ Sandman Belmont ute screws into the floor in front of the shifter.

If screws go int the floor and there has never been a front bracket it is looking like not being a Sandman.

The few factory HQ consoles i've seen also have screwed straight to the floor with holes just in front of the shifter.

I've always believed HQ had no front bracket and screws directly into the floor only and HJ-WB had a bracket. I am not so sure now with what Mauser has raised. Hence I have to check more original vehicles out. There is no doubt over HJ-WB just HQ.

may be plant related byron..hj had rod shift with m41..hx i think had both..hz definately had both...wb had cable only with m38...

I thought it may be related to the console style, so those with the Caprice style console used cable? Did WB Statesmans with trimatic use a rod or cable shift?

no it does not discriminate between deville and caprice..i have a fresh 3/77 hx deville here that is l31 m41 and is cable shifter..
wb statesman with tri were all left shift boxes and used a unique to that model rod and linkage..the t350 cable shift is unique to late hz and wb statesman..

Your not alone Justin - as per my posts in the HQ Sandman - Consoles thread my HQ Sandman Kingswood ute also screws directly into the floor in front of the shifter - just has two holes as per the HQ pic posted by Bryon. So very intersted that other HQ's/HQ Sandman's have the same thing.

My mate is halfway through a resto on a perfectly unmolestered original HQ Statesman. I know it came factory fitted with a console, So I've shot him a query, as soon as he sends me the pic I'll upload it if it will be of any use? Actually, he just messaged and said the stato isn't back till the weekend, so he'll send it through then.
