Inboard console holddowns / attachment?

[aldo]

I have a 1976 inboard and am using the pins that "Big Lew" is suggesting. You might try them at the rear of the console and keep the hinges at the front. Also re-enforcing the inside of the console wherever the T-Top connects to it will do wonders as far as vibration goes. I added a few pieces of 1/4" versatex (any plastic or plywood will do) at the attachment points and noticed a big difference.
