Console Attachment to Floor

[kdml]

When I bought my ‘65 the console was not installed.  I was test fitting the console and noticed there are only holes in the floor to attach the console in the very front and one in the rear.

The manual shows 3 attachment points in the front: 

The first attachment point works with the vertical brackets that run from the floor to the dash.  I have a hole in the floor on each side for these.

The second attachment point works with the c-shaped bracket mounted inside the console.  There is no hole in my floor for this.  I understand this acts as a ground for the console lights. 

The third attachment point is directly from the floor to console. I see no hole in my floor for these.  

 

Should I have holes in the floor for all of these?

Here are pictures of the attachment points second and third from the front.

Went to install the adapter that mounts between the heater assembly and the console duct assembly and found only a single hole in the floor on the passenger side of the trans. tunnel.  No hole on the drivers side.  I am starting to think my car was built late on a Friday and someone just wanted to go home.  😀

That's a good possibility

My dad told me never to buy a car built on a Monday or a Friday.  The lines were usually manned by subs.  Mondays followed the weekend and Thursdays were paydays.  Not too many sober workers on Mondays or Fridays.

I would ask guys “How come you only work 4 days a week?” They would answer back “because I can’t make it on 3”.
