Hi all, I just got a ‘68/69 console for my ‘69..... but there is some damage to the front cross pieces. (See pic below) Is there anybody here who could make some really careful/accurate tracings of just the front sections that are broken/missing compared to yours? I can re-create plastic but need to at least have patterns to work with. PM me back.... Thanks in advance Dave Fox  ------------- 1973 Gran Torino Sport - Q code “Q-Clone” project-on-hold 1972 Gran Torino Sport - Q code new project 1972 Gran Torino - parts 1969 Torino GT - M code 95+/- mid-80's Yamaha XJ-Series (10 trophies) |

Mine was busted up as well and did a repair with Plastex. I have it installed now, but below is a pic of the flange, I'll see if I have any more pics on my old phone ------------- Dave 1969 Torino GT/351W 2V/FMX/Vinyl Top/Black Jade/Gold Stripes/Nugget Gold Buckets/Console/Racing Mirrors/AC/PS/PDB |

I have it assembled and installed, so hard to get a tracing. Pics below might help. (the black console is not mine, just pics I had for reference when I had mine out) http://forum.grantorinosport.org/console-ash-tray-receiver_topic19791.html" rel="nofollow - Console ash tray receiver… - The Ford Torino Page Forum (grantorinosport.org)

the diagram is great.... it shows me the missing components, but I need to get the missing/broken plastic repaired first before anything else can be attached. I need patterns yo repair the main structure at the front first.... that’s where I need drawings, tracings, measurements, etc.... so I can re create the missing areas first.
