Console mounting.
Gentleman, many many moons ago I had the console out of my car for some customization and when putting it back together, I recall it being a bit of a fight to get holes lined up. Flash forward almost 50 years and I am more aware, mechanically inclined and picky. I'm now trying to put my interior back together along with said console and it is crooked; About 3/4 of an inch from front to back. It's actually slightly offset from Center which I can see I guess but the twist makes no sense to me. I included a picture of the rear bracket and the holes are a little offset as is the form stamping. Are any of you aware of this or have run into this before? Normal? I remember I had to elongate the holes that are on the bottom of the storage compartment a little bit, way back when but didn't think much of it then. Like I stated, I can bolt it down now but it's a little bit of a fight to get the screws started and it would be crooked. As always, I appreciate any thoughts and information.
