Hey guys, I have the infamous broken center console hinge/bracket, It was broken since before I got it, so I figured I would fix it instead of leaning on the very low console cover to slide in. I fixed it to where I can use it and not worry about it, and it looks a lot better than a broken piece of armrest hinge right where you put your elbow.
not very comfortable..
not much space to work in..
First, we cut out a piece of brown paper bag, to fit as close to perfect in the inside of the plastic bracket, pretty much cut, check, cut, check, etc until it's right.
Then we used the paper as a template to cut the pine piece out with the bandsaw. This was then slowly carved up with a sharp pocket knife and X-Acto knife.
