So I managed to pick up a GP console recently, and I’m trying to fit it to my car, but it seems like the floor mounts I’ve installed don’t quite line up.
There’s a large notch in the console that I’m assuming is for the center support, but if I move it far enough forward to put that notch over the support, the console practically rides up the firewall.

That being said, does anyone happen to have pictures and/measurements for the console mounts in a Grand Prix? I’d like to compare them to the Monte Carlo measurements I got from DixieRestoration

These are some pics that I took from a ‘78 Grand Am that I parted years ago. I hope it helps.

From what I have seen, that rear bracket is the same on all the 78-88 A/G bodies and it's installed location is the same between the different divisions.

I just checked my mounts and they’re spot on to the measurements from tdvick.
I’m guessing it’s my aftermarket shifter that’s throwing me off in combination with the forward console cubby(?) bracket; it just holds the front portion of the storage nook in the top plate.

Kinda makes me wonder what these large cutouts are for, seat belt buckles maybe?

The cut outs near the back?
Or maybe your heat vents are missing.
