I picked up Josh Tennant's beautiful 73 GTS (thank you Josh for allowing me to be the next caretaker of this beatiful car).  I am looking for the mounting brackets for the center console.   Please let me know if you have any or know where to get them.   LOVE, LOVE this car!

That is a beautiful '73!  I moved your other post to the classified section, but your best bet may be fabbing your own.  There isn't much to them.

Here is the thread with some info:

How do you like the 255's on the front? I had them on my 17" wheels, but now running 18" and I need wider than 235's up front. Same rear tire size on mine. 

Your GTS reminds me of Pete's '73 that used to be up in Michigan.

The 255/50/17 tires on the front are great.  No rubbing or any issues with turning.  Definitely help with both braking and handling.
