GoWesty All-Steel heavy-Duty Center Console

Made from tough 12-gauge powder-coated steel, this console is built to take a beating—walk, jump, even dance on it without a second thought. The updated design features a larger lid and an extra 700 cubic inches of storage compared to the previous version, giving you plenty of space to stash your essentials. A key-locked latch keeps everything secure, whether you're parked downtown or at a remote trailhead.

Fits: All 1980-91 LHD Vanagon models, except diesel vans with aisle heater tunnels.

New Console Features:
• Larger lid opening: 8" x 24"
• Larger internal volume: 2700 cubic inches
•
More user-friendly latch with key lock
• Includes a pair of new, longer, and more convenient seat belt receivers.
• Way more versatile cup holder option
• Way more versatile table leg option
• Do-it-yourself assembly option makes it way more affordable


Flat-Packed:
Significantly cheaper to ship. Takes about an hour to assemble—no special tools needed. Check out our instructions and video to see if the flat-pack option is right for you.

Optional Accessories (Sold Separately):

Magnetic Metal Cup Holders: These all-metal, ultra-strong magnetic cup holders are a major upgrade from the plastic ones. Designed to flex and fit oversized vessels, they even have a slot for your cup handle—duh! Stick them on any flat surface, inside or out. Already have our older console? Remove the old cup holder, use that space as a cubby, and slap a couple of these magnetic ones on the front. Problem solved!

Bolt-On Front Table Leg Mount*: A GoWesty-exclusive redesign that beats the original Westy mount in every way. Installs on either the driver or passenger side and works with both your original Westy front table setup or our GoWesty reproductions. Don't have a camper? No problem—this lets you add a table to any Vanagon model.

*If you have a Westfalia Camper, this console is not compatible with your original, less-than-ideal front table leg mount. Check out our GoWesty design linked above.

Was really looking forward to this product for extra protection driving cross country. However, the self tapping screws break in half despite pre drilling holes. Had to use original isle screws from 1986. The seatbelt holes do not line up which makes it even more annoying and disappointing. We spend a lot of money with Gowesty and it seems they do not take accountability for their products when they are made poorly.

Cool center console, function meets brawn

Great way to add a center console to the van, I appreciate the table leg mount as well (sep purchase) because I was able to move it to the passengers side which allows for the full opening of my lower cabinet. My only complaint is the instructions state for you to use the provided self tapping screws to secure, however these are far from self tapping, even after pre drilling per instructions they would not grab. I was forced to purchase my own actual self tapping screws to complete the install. Would have been 5 stars, hopefully they update their hardware packaging for the next buyer.

Fits great. Would get 5 stars if it had a strut or some other mechanism besides hinge tension to slow the door closing. But it looks and fits great.

Solid build, just what I wanted. Assembly is easy (just pay attention to the hinge assembly). Another great GoWesty product.

Impressive Product for the Price!

I was a bit skeptical at first, but Go Westy hit it out of the park on this version two console. The added seatbelt extensions are great (also updated my seatbelts too as the stock are 40+ years old). The console is sturdy, easy to build, and not that hard to bolt into the Vanagon.

The biggest selling point for me was the optional table mount; I’d always wanted a sturdy console (such as their first version), but I needed to maintain the table mount as it holds my monitor audio/video system (which is a must for the kids). Version two solves this problem with the add-on, which aligns perfectly with the console’s screw holes and is a breeze to install; however, I used more heavy duty self tapping screws then what was included with the kit.

For the price point. You can’t go wrong. Buy now!

Center Consol lock box.

Nice box with lock. I wish there was a pass through for additional wiring. There's a lot of room inside. I will be 3D printing a bottle holder and phone/holder/pen/paper cubby to bolt to the front. I like it, should have been a standard accessory for VW but I guess that's where aftermarket products come into play. R/jeff
