Default Console lid hinge repair?
No one sells the center consoles for my '94 anymore. All i really need is a console lid and repair the hinge. Anyone sell a hinge repair for the center console lid?

Bump, looking for the same thing. Mine broken when I hit a fire hydrant lol.

I've just been waiting until the next chance I have to go to a junkyard.

I tried to fix mine once already. Used epoxy made for plastic but the hinge never really worked right. Fit up of the console lid is not very forgiving.

I would call a Camaro junkyard and see what I can find. There's plenty of them out there. I googled Camaro junkyards and dozens of sources came up

yeah all the center console lids are broken, dash pads are cracked, and dashes are mangled.

I found one in excellent condition recently at a local u-pull-it. hinge is perfect and also had the hinge pin which I was missing.

They may be getting rare but they're still out there. Now a uncracked dashpad is a different story.

Thx for the offer but the FB console is a little different. And shipping from NJ would kill the deal.
