Re: its been a while, some updates.

It looks to me like it might be a 'Seals It' brand grommet

Re: its been a while, some updates.

Everything looks sharp. I do have to ask about the shifter angle tho. I have seen alot of ppl mounting the shifter at an angle like that and I dorve a friends car that as his mounted at a serious angle. Maybe I am old fashioned but it just seems odd and a little un-natural to me to push/pull at that angle. Is there a reason or thought behind it?

Re: its been a while, some updates.

I assume he is, as I've had a similar question. Is it just to make the pull more "towards" you instead of "back" towards the cab wall?

Your shifter bracket has more adjustability than my whole suspension lol.

Re: its been a while, some updates.

the manual valve body in my trans and shifter are for forward shift. so i push the shifter front to shift (instead of pulling back). and honestly i couldnt tell you why, but for some reason it feels better when its at a slight angle like that.

Re: its been a while, some updates.

Yeah that shifter platform is a work of art!! Well the whole truck is..... but the adjustability of the shifter location is totally off the hook! LOVE IT!!!
