** If you have a stock panel, the fore/aft position is determined by where you want the fuel valve handle to sit. Not too close behind the throttle quadrant so you can reach it and not too for forward as the throttle quadrant may be too far aft.<br>Steps: | ** If you have a stock panel, the fore/aft position is determined by where you want the fuel valve handle to sit.

*** Mark the extension where it comes out of the cover. | |||
*** Mount the Fuel selector at the desired spot into the armrest and stick the extension into it. | |||
*** Clamp the tunnel cover into the armrest with the extension centered in the cover hole and the bottom edges aligning (there might be interference at the friction lock recess - trim back carefully). | |||
*** Temporarily mark and measure how much of the extension is needed from the tunnel cover to the fuel selector. | |||
*** Add a 1/4 inch of reserve to the measurement and add it to the first marked position where the extension came out of the cover and trim the extension | |||
*** Assemble everything, find the sweet spot for the extension to not be under tension and mark the armrest mounting holes using a hole finder. | |||
