I am writing to get some advice on my gearshift placement/position. My toploader has linkage that is really far to the left...which also places the gearshift on the left side of my trans tunnel. I would like to get this gear shift in a more centered position so it isn't hitting my leg. I had a couple of ideas ranging from bending the gear shift shaft to adding in a spacer between the gear shift mount on the transmission and the gearshift shaft. I have come to the conclusion that the spacer is the way to go.

Before I fab up my own, I have a couple of questions:
1.) Is there any recommended sources for gear shift spacers for toploaders? 2.) If not, what material would you suggest I use to make the spacer (Square tube, solid stock, etc)?

Thank you in advance for your replies.
