Default 74 coupe question

I recently purchased a 74 coupe and am redoing the interior which I have started to remove. My question is how do I remove the e-brake cover from the car,the front console and guage cluster have been removed.

Default Good to get an Assembly Instruction Manual (AIM)

Good to get an AIM which shows all of the screws and parts.

I believe you have a screw maybe a 3/8" socket head that you have to undo from inside the compartment behind the seats. Located in the center. Also a couple of screws, one on each side which you likely found already.

Hope this helps.

The one in the back of the console is easy to get out and a pain to get back in. At least it was for me and for some reason, I had to install and remove that dude more than once for some reason.

The '74 AIM will help. It shows the installation of the bolt you're looking for.

When I put mine back in on my 72 I cut a 1/4" bolt and used it as a stud and ran it all the way thru the nut on the e-brake console and then locked it down with a nut and installed it with the new stud. It helped me a lot from trying to get a bolt started in the rear
compartment.
