If you are still looking, I have an aftermarket console base in good condition. I paid $439 for it a few years ago. It is just taking up space in my garage. I'll let it go for $350 plus actual shipping. If you are interested, let me know and I'll see about boxing it up and check shipping cost.
I just got a new base from The Parts Place (? I think, or OPGI). It fit well, and I didn't feel bad drilling holes for the Gear Vendors because it wasn't original.
Here you go, Tom. IIRC, I got it from The Parts Place Inc. Everyone who sells them gets them from the same supplier. I can take more pics from different angle(s) if you'd like. They are lighter construction than OEM, but a good representation.
