[Orange Crate]

Notchback- Thanks for the suggestion. I did think about that approach but I want to be able to remove the TC without disassembling the shifter. I agree it might be better to have shorter bolts, but when I got this all put together it is very stout (the bend in the flat top plate and welded gusset in the corner add a lot of strength). I could improve it by installing grade 8 hardware but it really is stiff the way it sits. Yes, build it don't buy it is my motto. Cheers! And good luck with yours. Sometimes you have to mock things up and stare at them for a while, and it will come to you.


I think this is a great approach, cheap and you made it instead of buying it. One suggestion, if you put a small bracket on the TC side of the adapter and lengthened the long flat piece to that, you could probably get away with small tabs at the transmission side and shorter bolts.[/QUOTE]
