1970 Charger Center Console Missing Piece Help

[70383ChargerSE]

Hello,

I have a center console in my 70 Charger and I think I am missing a piece. Is there something that connects the rear bezel on the top to the back of the console? Is it just the 2 screws on the bottom?

If I am missing something, any idea where I can buy thr correct stuff. This is for an automatic console.

Here are a few photos of what I have.

Thank you

Isn't there two drilled and tapped holes on the rear cap? As I recall two tabs screw on to it.

What size is that air freshener to the left of the console?

Mine is missing 1 so my assumption is, it is broken off. Thanks for pointing that out.

If you get some ABS, possibly from an old kick panel. You can cut some pieces for repair. Put some small shavings or tiny pieces in an airtight jar. Add some acetone or nail polish remover and make glue. You can then make reinforcement pieces for the top of the console. You can pretty well make that crack invisible. Make whatever else you need. I have done some.

OP ... didn't you ask this somewhere else ?

These are the two tabs held on to the console end cap.

Yeah, there should be 2 L-shaped tabs, curved on one end, that are screwed onto the chrome piece. The metal tabs grab onto the inside of the upper plastic edges and tighten down when you install the chrome piece.

EDIT: What pnora showed...

They'd be easy to fabricate out of some strips of sheetmetal, a 90-degree bend, some filing and holes drilled.
