[6pack] Amco Console (fietts02 at aol.com)

[fietts02 at aol.com]

Dave,
Thanks for the great info. I believe that the one piece was made  as and an 
option until 1972 and so sold continually until the 2  piece unit was 
produced  which would make it also correct for the Tr6.  Atleast that is what I 
uncovered in some of my research. The TR4 also had an  ashtray on the dash so 
the additional tray would be correct.. I  have found  a one piece unit and  
it appears to be original. It has not been altered,  but the armrest is 
covered to match the seat design pattern as with the  TR  4 with piping. I am 
thinking that you could order one of two versions to match  your model since 
all other dimensions are identical.

Ken,

The one piece console was made for the TR4 &  TR4A.  The TR6 AMCO console 
was
a 2 piece affair with a Kienzle clock  instead of a lighter and ash tray.
The TR6 & TR250 already had an ash  tray (& a lighter was an easy install
in-dash--both of mine have one),  which would be redundant if one was in the
console as well.  Instead  you got an electric clock that exactly matched 
the
dash gauges  motif.

According to my accessories brochure it was possible to buy just  the
rear/armrest section, or the whole thing.  If the whole unit was  installed
it looked nearly identical to the TR4 one-piece unit, except for  the clock 
&
it's mounting boss (of course) and the lack of contrasting  piping on the
armrest.

I have one of the originals that came in a  1972 parts car.  They're VERY
flimsy, and were very expensive (IMHO)  for what you got.

Dave,
Thanks for your reply these are repro with  some slight modifications. I
have seen these and they are exceptional. I a  looking for the other
variation
made of to 72 but that fit the 250/4/6/  It was a one piece design with a
lighter  and ash try. It was also  made by Amco. any suggestions on finding
photo of  it.
