I do like the Bentley that you were referring to. The Mercedes is a bit much though
Anyway, after picking up a second gen console from Classic Industries today, I headed over to the upholstery shop. We got to thinking about the size of the diamond stitching, and came up with about 2 1/4 to 2 1/2 inches for the squares. Does that seem about right for the sizing?
Also I think I've said it before, but those half height bushings from DSE, while nice, have proved to complicate all kinds of stuff. When fitting the console, it looks like the the modifications that had to be made to the trans tunnel because of the bushings, have caused the dash/console to require some modification to fit. I guess that is the nature of the beast though.
Oh and lastly, I finally got a jpeg version of Casti's rendering, so here it is
