I'm impressed with the Humphugger console

[crustycurmudgeon]

I recently bought a Humphugger console from CJ Pony Parts, via eBay.  I'm impressed with the quality of this console.  The one I looked at a few years ago seemed cheaply made, from thin plastic.  I wonder if it was a different brand.  This one is very nicely built.


The cupholders are sized just right for a can, with about 1/8" clearance.  The 16.9 ounce bottles have a little more wiggle room, and they do wiggle, because the bottom of the cupholder isn't flat.  I'll have to get a thin cozy or something to take up the extra clearance.


I love the clear plastic strap on the underside of the lid, for holding papers, registration, etc.


One more picture of the rear.

 I bought the same one a few years ago...I like mine too!  CD's fit perfectly inside.

I bought one about 3 weeks ago.  It is a quality console for the price.

I have the bigger one in my car,  I am pretty happy with it.  Plus I got it for free :)

In the near future I want to buy the one that fits around the shifter looks pretty cool..
Does it fit snug on the tunnel ? So it doesn't move?

I bought the one in the pic. and it is secured to the carpet with velcro.  You just take it out of the box and push it down into place and it is held into place very well.  I'm happy with mine.

I had one in mine for years.  Loved it.

Red uses one from TMI that fits over the console.  Black with Silver trim.  Nice arm rest and great beer bottle holder.

I go sit in the garage in my car and drink beer too.  Not sure if you can get away with that at work though with shag.

I have the bigger one too. It was real nice to have on the 3,000+ mile Power Tour.

What happen to your Stereo, you didn't have to give it back after the Power Tour did you?

[AzPete]

That's a nice console. Wish something like that would fit in my mustang.

The wife has one in her '65.  Great quality console.  I just wish that the cup holders were a little bigger.

That's what kept me from getting one til now.  Now that Pepsi seems to have discontinued the 24oz bottle in favor of the 16.9oz (for the same price  :rp), the new bottles fit where the old ones didn't.

no, that's an old picture and Kat, the console will fit your Stang too

[jims6t6]

I have the saddle type in my vert and the cruiser in the 66. Wouldn't do without them.

The PO moved the shifter back several inches. Still think something like that would fit? If not, I'll probably find some console from another make/model that could fit around the shifter.

You can move that shifter very easily. It looks like it is just a basic B&M cable type unit. Probably can't get it all the way up to the stock location due to dash clearance issues but it could move forward. That or pick up an original unit. They're pretty easy to find. Hell, I've got one sitting around if you want it.

[Kats66Pny]

As far as I can tell its the B&M Quiksilver ratchet shifter. As for moving it or replacing it with a stock auto shifter, that sounds complicated for my mechanically challenged mind.  :lol

Switching back to a stock shifter would be simply, the B&M is operated with a cable and could also be easily moved. My guess would be the PO mounted it there for ease of access. Did he have a baby arm?

[Kats66Pny]

From what I was told, it was moved back for ease of shifting during racing.

[AzPete]

Easy to move since it is a cable connection. Most likely just unbolt/screw it from the floor and put it where you want it. Look up the mounting/install instructions on line and see what it takes.

Mounting a stock would be easy to.

These things are not hard at all. There is nothing that a determined person cannot accomplish.

Before you start ripping out the B&M shifter, crawl under and take a look at the mechanism on the tranny.  On my old coupe that I bought, it had a B&M shifter and was setup for racing, the PO cut off one of the arms on the shifter shaft.  IIRC, it was the kickdown that was cut off, but it's been awhile since I looked at that trans and my memory fades fast.  It looked like that was done to make room for the B&M adapter.
