‘66 console satellite - driver side accelerator pedal clearance?

This will help show the full picture. What’s weird, and sounds like what you’re talking about same too, is there’s already existing console panel there covered over with this piece. The extra panel was fitted under the top plastic console trim like the factor console you see is. The console light was fitted to the outside of the separate piece. So the function of the light was unimpeded.
But the smaller hole around the pedal area baffles me what it is for?
But otherwise what else is the access to the shift boot area obtained?

OK - that looks good. I was misinterpreting the picture.
 
I believe there is a screw behind the console there that secures the console body to a floor mounted metal bracket

I don't have a 4 speed console but i wonder if your side cover has the correct contour next to the gas pedal? The reproduction side covers below look like they contour in towards the tunnel next to where the gas pedal would be.


 
That may be exactly it. A picture can be deceiving, but comparing the contour of how far in toward where the pedal is, the classic industries part appears a more pronounced indent than mine.
Before I removed it that same area had a noticable gap between the piece and the actual flooring. I just didn’t know if that’s the way it fit or not. I was ready to order a new carpeted cover piece anyway. Now it appears I’ll get about that 1” needed!
Awesome. Thanks for the photo. That’s helpful!
 
The console bodies are exactly the same shape regardless of trans and mount exactly the same

The only difference is how they were cut to clear the tunnel, OR not in the case of auto cars

Keep in mind the Repop console bodies are correct for 1967 thru 1970 ONLY

A 66 B body console is one year piece only, They are 2 pieces
 
Yep. You gave me the right source! The CI description photo is hopefully accurate enough to give me more hope it will fit like I need it to.
