Title: 1969 Camaro Console Gauge Harness Retainer Bracket
Post by: Greg69Z28 on January 16, 2022, 09:34:01 PM
Does anyone have any information about the dimensions of the console gauge wiring harness retainer bracket? The only place I’ve found that sells these as part of the front console mounting bracket is Heartbeat City Camaro and they are currently on backorder. I’m trying to fabricate one for my Camaro and any dimension information would be extremely helpful. If anyone knows of any other resources to purchase the bracket, that would be helpful as well. Thanks!

Hopefully someone will chime in with the dimensions, but if you REALLY need one, and I mean REALLY need one, HERE'S (https://www.ebay.com/itm/165271515743?hash=item267af3325f:g:-K4AAOSw65FXwa26) one on ebay. A little pricey in my opinion but maybe you could contact the seller and see if he'll get you the dimensions.

Great find Ed! Thanks for the info. I'll try to reach out to the seller and see if they will share the dimensions. If so, I'll post the dimension info I receive.

If you haven't heard back I'll get you dimensions off a console I have that I am taking to a local swap meet in a few weeks.  BTW originals were not painted.  Also pretty sure that bracket was used on all 69 console cars as it holds the harness for the light harness as well but I could be wrong as I'm going off memory.

Not sure if this helps - here's a picture of the bracket installed.  Maybe you can use the image to determine dimensions based on the console relative to the bracket?   Unfortunately, the console is installed already and the car is at the paint shop.
