Tips for mounting shifter

Our Home Depot has a section in the hardware dept. with a variety of steel and aluminum pieces - angle, square tubing, flat plate, etc.

I found piece of channel that works great as a shifter mount. It's about 2" wide and the "c" or "U" is about 1/2" deep x 4' long. I cut a piece the length of the shifter base, drilled corresponding mounting holes in it and bolted the shifter on with 3 or 4 short 1/4" bolts. Then I welded the nuts on underneath and it was ready to weld onto the trans tunnel/driveshaft hump where convenient. The welded nuts allow you to remove and replace it without any extra hassle.

Might need to "ding" the sheetmetal a bit to get it to sit flat before welding, depend on if it's straight or angled a little. But avoid sharp bends in the cable and stay away from headers. (I had to nylon wire-tie mine away from them.) If B&M is like Hurst, they should have 5' cables available if you need a longer length.

I just jigged one up for a friend in case he decides to by one of my shifters.
