OK, thanks John. By the way, do you have pics of the shifter mount under the boot that you could post? |

Shifter
Instead of using your curved shifter handle, why don't you use the straight on offered on the 289 cars. There is one pictured in the post above (middle one) It seems you already have the same 2 bolt configuration. Just a thought. John |
Here is a follow up on my shift handle adaptor project. There are more pics in my gallery but I will attempt to post the most critical ones here. I am a carpenter by trade, not a metal fabricator. So with my limited abilities I attempted to make this very simplistic and low budget. The results are perfect.
Instead of going to a welder I realized I had what would work laying around in a pile of left over construction hardware. It's a 1/4" thick bracket with a 90* bend. A very stout piece. Using a scroll saw with a metal cutting blade I was able to cut out the portion I needed and cleaned it up with a bench grinder. I used my drill press to drill the holes I needed, and tapped some threads in two of the holes to bolt my new shift handle to. Once I was happy with the fit I cleaned it up further with a disc sander and 150 grit paper then spray painted. Dang it looks good. I made the offset 1 1/4" to better position my shifter on the trans tunnel and yes I had to enlarge the hole through the carpet a bit.
