Yes, I used the factory shifter with the B&M cable. I had to modify the shifter slightly but the mods can be undone if I decide to go back to my 1965 transmission and cables.
I mocked up both brackets (shifter end and transmission end) using cardboard and I saved the mockups. Let me think about how to go about sharing them. I could easily upload photos of the unfolded cardboard to be used as templates, but it might be tough to get accurate scale from a photo. Alternatively, I could draw them in Visio to scale, add dimension lines, and then export to something everyone can read like a PDF. I'll try to get that done this weekend.
