Finished dabbing up the shifters, linkage and brackets today after burritos. Getting the geometry of the rolling offsets for the shifters was tough because I wanted to come up in the stock 205 hole. There wasn't much room near the edge of the trans high hump on the front output and it needed to not interfere with the rear output so the best solution was a 45/45 degree cut to make a tight radius. The other radius is just good old heat from the torch and a little at a time. After coming up through the hole I put a little kick in the rear output so my hand clears either shift knob. I was going to get the shifters powder coated black but now since I have so much work in these I'm going to send them out for chrome
