Center Console Dimension

I was very close to pulling the trigger on purchasing reduction gears for my push-button transfer case. Martin's article on the SJ413 case rebuild has now seduced me away from staying with the push-button system. The thing that I am struggling with now is how I integrate the shift lever in the newer automatic. I am hoping that one of the members (with the lever operated case) can provide a dimension. I am looking for the distance from the forward edge of the rear console to the forward edge of the shift lever boot (as shown in picture).



As shown below, I know that the cup holder on the forward console is in the way on mine. I would like to determine how much so that I can decide the best approach for accommodation.



Thanks
Bob

here you go...



and incase you were wondering about an older manual gearstick surround (sorry its upside down :silly: ):




Thanks for the FOX stickers as well. I think ive forgotten to say they arrived, so a big thank you just in case

And a big thank you to you Riccy. That covers everything I need. I may purchase one of the earlier consoles just to determine the possibility of splicing it to the upper portion of a newer model. Sure hate losing my cup holder. :laugh:

As far as the Fox stickers go, I'm just glad you received them. You can never be too sure when you send something out in the Philippine mail.
