OK, so I redid the part properly and ended up with this!
The top piece has not been bent yet, to make 90 degree bend downwards and will fasten the side section to the other piece I fab'd.
HOPEFULLY this will still allow clearance for the seatback to clear.
I stretched the side dimension (width) about 1/8" to allow for the bend radius to make the distance between holes wider.....a tad.... The piece was only mounted in my car with 4 screws..... will use two original holes up by the top console, and two new ones that will pierce the new aluminum cover, and the parking brake tower metal.
Initial tests are hopeful, but final word will be the entire thing put together and in the car.....more later when I can "get to it"!
Right now distracted with new house with old problems......ugh!
Have a great weekend!
