Any suggestions on where to find a center console that would fit in my '60 MGA?

You could probably modify and substitute an MGB armrest/storage bin for the MGA armrest. Other than that, I know of none that are currently being made. If you really want one, you may have to fabricate it yourself.

Thanks all for replies...

I was hoping to find one (or fabricate one) to fit in front of shifter and leave armrest intact. Any ideas?

There is not much room there. I put in a cup holder for my large black coffee.

I think he wants a vertical console. Ive seen several MGB ones one buy and sell maybe a midget one would work.

I solved the cup holder problem years ago. http://mgaguru.com/ak/pic10/10-19.htm

How about this: http://mgaguru.com/mgtech/dash/dt210.htm

The MGA has not much space in front of the shift lever except underneath the dash. A center console panel below the dash may be good for a few gauges and switches, maybe one medium size a radio speaker, or possible a couple of tweeters at the sides. What exactly did you have in mind there?

No such commercial item available. If it is important enough to you, then get creative and build one. Make drawings, keep notes, take pictures, and let us know how it comes out.
