Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

As for tools a Torx T-20 and a T-15 driver of some sort, I also used a needle nose pliers on that one screw and the nylon tabs that had to be transferred.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1Original post

I have to remind myself to post this in the proper forum: http://www.planet-9.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1489&FORUM_ID=1&CAT_ID=1&Topic_Title=Center+Console+Swap+Article+is+Online%21&Forum_Title=Cayman+Chat http://www.planet-9.com/article_read.asp?id=48 A couple of questions that were asked: 1) How long did it take? For me, stopping to shoot photos and checking a few things by phone call it took 2-3 hours. I could probably do the whole thing in less than an hour now that I have done it, and I would expect that others using this article could do it in around 1 hours, certainly less than 2. 2) Is it too hard to do yourself? No, not at all, but if you don't want to, take it to your dealer and their service department do it. It is a great looking mod and Bumper Plugs has a great price, I wouldn't want the install to dissuade anyone from doing this. Any other questions, let me know!

POST 2Original post

Ken, Could you list the tools you used? wrench sizes, etc. It's nice to know you have all of the correct tools before you tear your interior apart. Also, were there any parts that you needed that were not already available and would you purchase some of the plastic fasteners that were difficult to remove? It appears not. One time when working on a vehicle center console modification, I had everything dismantled, including the parking brake, only to find I needed some longer bolts to complete the job. Needless to say, these bolts were not available at your local hardware lumber supply store.

POST 3Original post

Very cool Ken.......Ordered my Porsche SSK from Suncoast and was looking for something like this.....I'll take pix of the SSK install and post that info when it happens.

POST 4Original post

No extra parts were needed, just transfered over items from the one console to the other. As for tools a Torx T-20 and a T-15 driver of some sort, I also used a needle nose pliers on that one screw and the nylon tabs that had to be transferred. I had a channel lock for the shift knob but never got it off. Talked to the service guy at the dealership today and he says there are some they literally have to use pry bars on to get off so he wasn't surprised. I also used a plastic wedge tool in a couple of places, but you could probably make do without one if you had to. Hope that helps!

POST 5Original post

That is the information that I was looking for. Thanks. These illustrated instructions are very worthwhile.
