Are there multiple manufacturers of the console adapter? The one from parts place states that it isn't a show piece but are there others that are nicer out there?

i know they are high priced but the original ones are the best. i am not a big fan of the reproductions myself.

Do you have an original for sale by chance?

i have a complete 4 speed console with an original adapter but no adapters by themselves.

The original or first run of the repop adapters were pretty good,but the color & texture of the material was slightly off.The latest design is excellent.They can be installed as-is,without dying,if you have a black console,but I prefer to dye everything together anyway.

good to know that. i have one of the early ones on my Rallye then because the texture is off.

Yes,the early adapters & console lids were a glossy grayish color,with a slightly different texture,and I had to prep them more to get the dye to lay right.The newer adapters & lids are much better.

So I guess I'll get one from the parts place, thanks for the insight...
