The driver's seatbelt on my '83 245 was getting to be difficult to use (automatic lock mechanism got very touchy) so I pulled a pair of the later style front belts and anchors from an '88.

I have the belts and anchors installed, but the center console in the '88 at the pick'n'pull was already gone.

Is the newer center console a different piece or is there a coin tray that just drops into the slot vacated by the old style belt latches?
Looking at what I have, it seems that removing the old belt latches would remove all support for the console - is there a bracket that fits in there once the latch assembly is out?
How have others solved the wiring (old connector uses two slots of square four slot blade connector while new connector is a flat 3 bullet connector)? I can look in Bently for diagrams and splice together something that works, but maybe someone has a more elegant solution...

Thanks,
Joe
