Dave---unfortunately I live an hour away from boat, and don't have any other pics right now for perspective.....however, you can see in the pics almost all the places that the t-top attached to the lower half of the console. The top also attaches to the front of the lower console via the front crossbar of the t-top. Also, the t-top is prob a foot too wide, and a foot too long (according to the welder). May primary question is----do I need to have a solid, 1-piece console to effectively anchor a t-top frame?

Put cross bracing in between the uprights and rebed everything.

More pics would help too.

How often do you raise the console? Could you attach aluminium angle on the inside of bottom section and thread the angle and then through bolt it to secure top section of the console better. Then 5200 aluminium plate on top inside of console and weld a higher support on the T top and thread the plate and through bolt it. this would give you higher support. Not sure if this would be strong enough though.
