TKX conversion continues...

Questioning the exact location of the manual transmission front console bracket I purchased from @NixDad ...

Here is my mockup photos before prepping the tunnel for welding the bracket to the new tunnel hump plus a diagram from the ole Interwebs.
I also measured the console itself for spacing to center the front screws in the bracket's slots at the front and the rear.
I am not sure how precise these were done on the assembly line so I am hoping there is plenty of room around the shifter boot/console top plate for some minor deviation.

Thoughts?

Previous manual transmission tunnel thread on order of assembly for, in bottom-to-top order, the rubber shifter boot/galvanized ring/carpet/stainless bezel.

Do you have the console?
Get the top plate to line up over the shifter boot.
Yep, I have it. I plan to mock the console up with the rubber boot and pistol grip in place before welding the bracket.
UPDATE: Photo below of mockup. I still need to add the boot/shifter/top plate to see how it all fits though.
