I have 2 Auto console with one of them being pretty hacked up by me putting in a shifter that wasn't correct for a console. In my research, the burlwood overlays are the biggest issue. Cammer-6 has something that best matches the original, but is EXTREMELY expensive. Someone here just used real burlwood walnut and veneered it to the console pieces with fantastic results.
I have thought about making a new top plate with the opening for the shifter cup and then using the console overlays for while, but haven't gotten around to it. Right now I have my Hurst competition Plus and T-handle sticking through an Auto console with an oversize boot. Less than ideal, but I have other projects I am working on that are more imporatant.
