Help Shifter Handle Removal 69 Swinger

..and yet another option is to reshape your new handles mounting end, to match the push in you just removed and also drill a new lock hole as well to match the original and slip the new one into lock position using that feeler gauge again so it doesn't lock into the bolt holes prematurely .

I like this idea. When i line up the bottom of the shifters and site down the hole i might just get away with filling (weld) or making an insert to take up the difference in shape. 16103032750481675984258.jpg
