[QUOTE="Ackbar00, post: 16213792, member: 22571"] The shifter setup. So I had lots of issues. First I bought a Lokar plate, it sucked. Next i bought the leather boot for the 69. it matched up with the bolts holes already in the trans tunnel. Well, that bastard would not sit over the shifter, it sat right on top of it. Its base would need to be clearanced and I was convinced it would tear the leather. I cut some holes in the carpet and ran some bolts through them trying to make that work. [ATTACH=full]1594407[/ATTACH] The more I played with that, i realized I would be putting the bolts in blindly and nothing was securing the Lower shift boot. What to do.... After an obscene google search, i found these threaded inserts: [ATTACH=full]1594408[/ATTACH] With these, I could thread into the existing holes, use a washer to hold the lower shift boot, and space it up, so that the leather boot would secure on top of the shifter. Winning! [ATTACH=full]1594409[/ATTACH] Next, poke the inserts up through the carpet. No more blind man feeling his way around in an orgy. [ATTACH=full]1594410[/ATTACH] Next up was the shifter handle and the knob. i tried to use the fox handle, and it was just to far forward to be comfortable. Especially in 1 and 3 gear. So I found this handle on EBay. Feels like a Nascar now lol. the knob, i was just going to get a black Hurst, but this grey one from Twisted Shifters caught my eye, so I went with it. [ATTACH=full]1594411[/ATTACH] And done. Used some stainless washer and some hex bolts to finish it off. Still need to trim the tie strings a little, but it feels pretty good and turned out killer.
