Is it possible to convert the console in a 92 Prelude to the 94-96 Prelude console?
Looks like there could be a difference in the parking brake lever? My 92 is a manual transmission Si, 4WS.

Thanks,

it is possible, but you will have to change to the later style e-brake handle, rig up the cables to fit, and also make some sort of mount for the new e-brake handle

its a good bit of work, but well worth it, I had a 93 before and hated that console, my 96 lude came with it, a nice (borat accent)

 

yeah! plus you get a cup holder

 

i've done it, if you're not good a simple custom fabbing don't do it, or have someone do it for you. I'd give it a 5/10 on the diy scale since you gotta figure out where and how to mount things.

 

I feel fairly confident that I can do it, it looks like the most difficult task would be the e brake, does the 94-96 style e brake mount using any of the hole locations from the 92 version, or would I need to drill new mounting holes all together? The newer console looks like it might line up with some of the existing mounting hole locations in my 92? If I could get the mounting brackets from a 94-96 model, it looks like it would make things somewhat easier?

new holes for the e-brake, plain and simple...

 

Yup gonna need new hole for the brake - be very carefull and mark everything carefully. Location is very important.

Or just Weld it!!

 

I've started looking at what I need to do to get this done, looks like the ebrake cables on my 92 aren't long enough to reach the new location where the 94-96 style ebrake would have to mount? Would I need the ebrake cables from a 94-96 model to make this work?

yeah good bit of fabbing involved. ive got my converion all planned out just havnt had time to do it yet.

 

Have any you guys done this by extending the threaded rod on the ebrake, so it would reach the cables on the 92-93, it looks as though that might be a simpler fix?

i woud love the switch to a 94+ console on my 93.. that space is so inefficient stuff falls out of the pocket.. so the same cables can be used?

 

I am in the process of trying to do this, I read in another thread about someone un-bolting the ebrake cables from their 92-93 and pulling enough of them inside the car to connect to the new mounting location for the 94-96 ebrake location, however I'm not real crazy about pulling my cables on my 92, so I'm going to try and extend the threaded rod portion on the 94-96 ebrake handle, by using some 6mm threaded rod cut to length and connecting it using a 6mm connecting nut with thread lock, so it will reach the cable connector for my 92.
