Unfortunately there is no drivetrain in the car to hook anything up. I was trying to get all the welding done before the car is painted. I may just wait and do it when I can use the linkage as a guid to make sure everything works.
And bolt your seats in place to aid in console/bracket alignment so it's centered between the seats. Note that the console is not centered on the tunnel - it sits a little left of center (see the last pic of my post above).
