where can I find the black "cover thingy" for the console...

labrats804 · May 21st, 2007, 08:29 AM

hello all,

I have an 87 Olds 442 and I'm having a very hard time finding the black plastic thing that covers the bottom of the shifter. I'm not sure what it's called but it surround the shifter itself and prevents dirt from getting down in the shifter. It's a rectangular piece of plastic. Anyone have any suggestions on where to find this piece. It doesn't have to be NOS matching or anything. It's just that my console right now is an eye sore because it's missing this piece.

Thanks for any help in advance

Andrew

I believe the part is called a "slider plate". Anyone have any suggestions?

Short of finding one in a junkyard, maybe Year One?

thanks for the replies fellas..I tried that site Year One. That's a great resource by the way! They didn't have the part I'm looking for, but I'm still keeping my eyes peeled. I'll post up if I find anything online.
