Here are some updates, this is copied over from my thread about the raised tunnel install, so sorry if i double up on some of you, I just wanted it all kept in one place as well....
Ok, so I ended up notching the tunnel all the way up to the factory parking brake cutout. it was the only way it was going to clear it.
Then mounted this work of art shifter to the raised tunnel. Damn it is sexy....
I mounted the shift rod to it, which can be a bit tricky. I had to do some slight modification to the rod holding bracket to make it fit in-between the shifter housing and the tunnel. Just a little grinding at the corners and it rolled right in. Then I set the shifter in the car and tested it to make sure the rod clears.... woot, good to go!
