I first want to say making a mold of the console is pretty easy. I did what your suggesting with a much less complete donor. I elimated the ashtray and added A/C vents.
Then you mentioned ,"stripdown", ...I hope not with chemical strippers to remove paint. fingers crossed.

Hi, thanks for the suggestion. I think that it would be easier to repair what I have than make a mold and duplicate it, particularly as I will then cover the console and my repairs with vinyl. Have you got a pic of your modified console? If it's already on here I can search for it.
No fears of using chemicals - the stripdown referred to the removal of all parts from the shell. Then I've got to rub it down as best as I can before handing it to the bodyshop, for its return to gleaming L13.

They are boots for Land Rover track rod ends, much bigger than Triumph/Lotus ones. Probably about right for the ball joints. I’ll try to remember to check when I get home.
