Folks,
I got the correct plate from Aaron; fits like a charm! Thanks again everyone
for helping with the Iding of my shifter items.
With that said, if any one wants the Super Shifter mounting plate, its yours
for free. Just pay the shipping.

The shiftgate in the picture is not for sale. Email me directly.
Have a good weekend all,
-Graham

Thanks Dale and yenkochevelle; I think the plate is indeed that Super
Shifter, since it likes to be mounted at the very end of the tranny (making
the tunnel to be cut out more). I am noticing that the 2 bolts that held
the
shiftgate to the mounting plate are different from each other, so maybe
someone attached a normal shiftgate (as it has long throws to it) to that
wacky plate.
Does anyone have a mounting plate for sale then, one that would fit? Aaron
([EMAIL PROTECTED]), do you have one? If so, please email me off- list
with how much you want for it. If not, no worries - I'll see about getting
one from Mr Gasket/Hurst.
Thanks!
-Graham.
