I have an ACC carpet 4 speed piece that wraps around the console. My problem is when I wrap the carpet around the hump there’s an open gap. Has anyone installed one of these lately? Any tips?

Brewer's Performance - Mopar A833 4-Speed Transmission and Component SpecialistsI have the hump, but as you can see the hump added in place would exaggerate the problem. This is a pic of the ACC carpet that’s supposed to be correct for 4 speeds.
Have never seen a carpet strip for 4-sp console, only floor carpet for 4-sp. The "hump" is carpeted separately. If you have a console carpet strip it is most likely for an automatic. I would think that you could "notch out" that strip for the hump and carpet the hump separately.
This is perplexing, Never had a stick "A".
@4spdragtop can you elaborate? on the Fiberglass cover?
Seems if you cut the carpet section to raise up it will not sit on the floor correctly!
Heres my 69 4spd console. I bought the car in 92 and it had this carpet on it. Unable to pull it out completely, sorry.
The hump is carpeted together with the side of the console. Not sure if the seam is at front of console? I may be able to get better pics tomorrow.

So it a separate carpet faced Piece that attached to the console?
Heres some better pics. Not sure if this is factory carpet or not. It is all one piece with seam at front of console. Its actually glued to hump cover. Looks like it's missing part of the hump also??
Excellent pictures thank you, it is my understanding that some pre-70 4 speed bumps were only half as shown in your pics. That's my hand in Lou's picture, I'm the one trying to figure this out on his car. I have always been under the impression that it was 1 piece not carpeted separately but I can't say when I've seen a factory carpet console last and when I did frankly, I wasn't paying that close of attention to it.
4spdragtop, I'm currently talking/communicating with the "design engineer" for ACC and have sent him a bunch of pictures, I'd like to send him these as well with the story if that's ok with you.
I wonder if the carpeted separately was in later years or a result of 4 speed specific carpet not being available and people making due back in the day? I could make it work if necessary, we have extra carpet left over from recarpeting the back seat.
It wasnt a hack job, but who knows if original or aftermarket?
Thank you, I'd bet yours is original, just the way the edges are hemmed and the bulge is hard formed even with the half hump says quality and VERY few aftermarket companies would go to that trouble back in the day.
Thanks for pics.So it is a separate carpet faced Piece that attached to the console?
I found these pictures in my GTS reference file, I think it clearly shows the carpet as one piece as well. It also shows the half bulge like 4spdragtop's.

After a little back and forth, ACC decided they don't have anything for the 4 speed console or the hump and they aren't interested in making anything. Their final reply was "we don't have anything, contact your vendor for a refund."
