I haven't put up a separate thread yet but I can, I took plenty of pictures along the way:thumbup:
You can see the 7 washers in this shot - I am bracing for someone to tell me what a bad idea this is:
Ahhh...grasshopper...read the Stickie.

Pete, I pored over all available information/posts when trying to figure this out (including the one you link to above!). What am I missing here? Again, keeping in mind that I am trying to avoid bending the shift linkage!
Thanks in advance!

Thanks guys. I like both suggestions, though as I said I'd love to be able to put it all back to stock for the long trip that I hope to do someday. Louis, yours looks awesome and I'd love to have it done but then I am stuck with it permanently - it does look very nice and I'm sure the hard mount feels and shifts better.
I think I'll take Pete's suggestion and order the part - Pete, where did you get yours for $5?
However, in the near term I have a track day on Friday. I think in the meantime I will either split the washers between the current spot and between the plate and the rearset, or maybe even try bolting the plate directly on the frame (which is the best, safest solution I realize) and see how many shims are required between the plate and the rearset to get my linkage outside of the frame.
Thanks for the feedback guys, I really appreciate the assistance!
Good ole' Ron Ayers.
