First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ......................................................................... There are some kits available on eBay that will cover the console holes after they are filled, but I don't know if they work well. Postings on the First Gen site seem to indicate there aren't any good ones on the market. I think they bubble and don't adhere very well. You could try filling the holes and recreating the burlwood pattern (don't laugh, I've seen a guy put paint on an old Packard dash that you'd swear was real wood), or just spend the money for a console that doesn't have the holes.
I bought a cracked console for a pretty penny, but the cover didn't have holes. Since no one's making repos of this console, that's about the only alternative if you want the stock look.

I have a console with four 3/8 inch holes in the plastic part up front on top. It is the pebble grain finish. The rest of the console is in great shape. Has anyone had any luck patching or filling holes like this? What is the best solution? I figured i'd probably just have to mount a gauge pod or something on top to cover them up, but really don't want to.

Hard part is to get a cover that doesn't have holes in it. I have some 4-speed covers that have holes in them, but they would at least get you going. Let me know if you're interested, and I can send you some pics. Beats buying a whole console, and the only other thing you'd have to get would be the shifter cup, and those are available from Classic and the other repo outfits. ----- Original Message ---- From: Clell Rogers To: First Generation Firebird-L Sent: Tuesday, April 1, 2008 6:52:36 PM Subject: [FGF] RE:Brake and clutch pedals needed for a 69 First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ......................................................................... Hey Guys, I am converting a 69 Conv from an automatic to a Muncie 4 speed and am in need of the brake and clutch pedals. I purchased a pedal set from CI which cannot fit, and now have been told that the pedals for the 69 are different from the 67, and 68s. I am assuming that that is true (?) (I originally thought that I had to change the pedal carrier bracket.) I also need the cover on the center consul that is for the manual transmission. Can any one able help me out?
