Update:
The console is installed. I had to do some cutting to accomodate the factory air tunnel that goes from the lower dash to the rear seats. I also relocated the E brake to the floo board space just left of the driver side seat. Seems to work flawlessly. All I day was buy some cable, connecters, and mount the E brake assembly with some bolts and spacer. I had to cut a small whole in the floor board for the cable and taper the whole with a grommet.
I had to extend the gear shift from 6.5 inches to 10.0 inches to accomodate the height of the new console. I did this with a pieve of painted, galvanized 3/4inch pipe. I'm not too impressed with that. I'll be looking for a more formidable solution to that problem.
As always, Pics to come.

Pics or it didn't happen lol. I am really interested in this e-brake relocation.
I wonder if the assembly out of a Chevy Caprice would work...

Did you make any progress on this? I'm trying to wire my XJ up for lights and siren and I have a full console that I swapped in. Where did you mount the siren speaker?
