Speaking of DaHos, he recommended this Corvette door strap as a close replacement for ours. It is very nearly the same length, but you have to put the 90 on one end. They have the advantage of being readily available. However our third console had a very nice strap that cleaned up...so we didn't have to use the Corvette one. I didn't have the luxury of having a full compliment of console hardware to send to Kaehr for refinishing at the time. I did have the latch, so I sent that for replating. The hinge and trim ring went to the chromer in El Paso. The seat belt plate is a reproduction version. All the original nuts that I have seen have captured washers (I believe this is called a Keps nut). I have elected to use stainless hardware replacements that match the original profiles until I've got cause to send in another batch of parts for plating. Here's what's in this console:

1) #8 x 1/2 sheet metal phillips pan (7 total-hinge, latch, strap)
2) #10 x 1/2 sheet metal phillips pan (3 total-top to hinge)
3) #8 x 1/2 machine screw phillips pan(3 total-hinge to bottom)
4) #10 x 1/2 machine truss head phillips (6 total-top to bottom)

Last three pics are what I believe to be original hardware for this console and what I tried to match with the replacements.
