I was installing the shifter boot when I noticed the small hump in the carpet to the right of the opening. There appears to be a part of a console mounting bracket welded to the floor. I propped up the carpet so I could take the picture. The car never had a console from the factory. Is this a factory blunder?

Wouldn't that bracket be only welded on the console and not the floor? Something strange there.
 
Thanks for the info. I now recall reading about this stop before. It is obvious that it only comes into play on cars that have a bench seat and a floor mounted shifter.
 
Finally, a question I could answer. If I had only gone to lunch earlier
But I will add, that if that's to the left of the opening, you're sitting in your car wrong.
 
When I saw that I also thought what ramrod said, but then I thought maybe he was Houdini.
 
I just went back and reread my original post. You are correct. I meant to say to the right of the opening. I will correct it. Thanks.....

Depends who is sitting where, and why.... back in high school that would've been to my girlfriends left a few times in my 71 Barracuda...... just sayin.
 
Found in A-body 4 speed AND 3 speed cars with floor shift & with bench seat or with bucket seats.

In other words, it was part of the manual shifter floor hump regardless of seat type.
