Yes, the lower piece was were trimmed on the drivers side bottom going back about 12"-15" to clear the 4 speed hump. They didn't take too much height off of them. I have an original '72 4 speed console in the back seat of one of my cars now so I could take a pic or measurements if you need me to.

Thanks for quick response I think I can copy the way it's done on my rough console it fits the hump nicely just wanted to make sure that was the right thing to do since console prices seem to be getting out of hand thanks again
