there's plenty of room under the console. All it took was a 1-7/8" hole saw, and a bottle of Jack Daniels. In your case, maybe a couple of Irish Car Bombs.

It pays to cut the hole in the console on a drill press, go slow, and use plenty of oil on the bit

Forgive my ignorance, but what is the benefit of this mod? Where is the stock ignition located? Just curious.

And for Tnbrit:

A Car Bomb, also called an Irish Car Bomb, is a beer cocktail which is a variation of the boilermaker. It is made with stout (e.g., Guinness), Irish Cream (e.g., Baileys), and Irish whiskey (e.g., Jameson).
The name refers the drink's Irish ingredients and to the car bombings notoriously used by the Provisional Irish Republican Army (PIRA) during the Troubles. The Jameson whiskey is floated on top of the Baileys in a shot glass, and the shot glass is then dropped into the stout. Once mixed, the drink must be consumed quickly because it will curdle.
