What’s this strap for on the manual transmission hump

Prevents the bench seat from moving any farther forward.
No worries. We get about one of these same questions every few months.
Might do me some good down the road if I put the bench back in but I’m planning to try some six way power, heated and cooled buckets out a a Nissan Maxima. I accept all chastisement for such blasphemy.
If it makes your body happy when driving, then that’s the right seat. Resto guys can cry all they want, they’re not driving YOUR CAR.
I have to make my wife comfortable or ride alone. Next guy can put the bench back in if he wants to. It’s not like back in the day when she rode in the middle. We’re married 51 years now.

You might be looking at this backwards. LOL Truthfully I'm with you I like having my Lady of 28 years with me when cruising. Once in a while she will still flip up the armrest and slide over. How many more years do I have until this stops? 51 minus 28 = 23 x (pi) minus menopause = Y ?

They make pills for it now. My wife was a little cranky earlier this week. (this is the gospel) I called her out on it, but we are watching our teething 4 month old grand daughter from 6pm to 6 am and she played it off on that. Yesterday she had to go to town spur of the moment. She had been out of the pills since Monday!

These straps also in bucket seat cars? Mine is original bucket seat and has same lil strap
Console bracket? Nope, it would have to be a hook. No hole for a fastener.

Are these all 4 gear cars? The Barracuda has the little bracket to hold the shifter plate off the floor but as Mike mentioned there is no hole in the strap. Is it just a spacer for a shifter plate?

what does your boot look like? or do you have a decorative plate or console shifter as well. My tunnel goes further forward and the bracket for my shifter decorative plate sits on top.
