Safely removing the centre console.

[WilliamB1750]

Hi gents
I'm trying to remove the centre console so I can access the wiper switches and associated wiring.
My model is a 1970 "1750" and has the 3 switches under the gear shift with the fuel and temp gauges above the gearshift.
I've had a bit of a look but the trick has alluded me so far and before I damage something some advice would be greatly appreciated.
cheers Bill

hi Bill ,there are 2 screws on either side of the console up towards underneath the dash ,remove them and there should be a screw underneath the ash tray
The wiring harness needs to be disconnected also.Carefully take gear nob off also.The console should lift out now

Terrific, thanks for that Sporty.
thought it would be simple enough but I couldn't find the screws before, all good now

I think there is also a trick with the heater sliders to the left of the gear stick. Removal of two screws that feed though to heater I believe are also required to fully remove the console.
