    Thanks Dave, we mocked up the seats and steering column and I sat in the van with the "shifter" in my hand to get best position. It's really not far off from one of my Firebirds.

    Roger, yes, I have a plan. The shifter, cable and wiring will get covered by a close-out plate that will velcro on. (see post #247) I am still deciding if I will make it out of aluminum or carbon fiber. I am leaning toward the CF because then it would just look like part of the doghouse until I peel it off. It will be a fairly simple piece. It will also incorporate the wiring for the Gear Vendors Unit and that will have to unplug for cover removal also.
    Thanks Guys
    Mark
