Yes, the TKX. I saw what Kern Dog had to remove in his tunnel & yes, it seems fairly minor. That said, there's a tick coating in the tunnel and I might as well spend the additional half hour to get it out.

It looks a bit scary if you've never done metal replacement before.

My kit came from Silver Sport. I don’t know if they offer any optional shift levers.
If it's not too late, you should weigh that!
Oh maybe if memory serves me correct, about 25-30 lbs. Never thought of it at the time. But that was ALL of it. It was a two hander to swing it in the dumpster. lol
So what angle are you needing??
I would think that the reissued Hurst Pistol Grip shifter handle would bolt right up to that as they use the two bolt system instead of the OEM clip in type. I don't know if the tall non console ones are still available, but I just bought an E body one for my modem Challenger from Summit Racing for $329..00. If the 70 B body non console one is no longer available, my friend has a new one still in the box,that I don't think he is going to use.

I used one in more than one hot, humid, often cramped steel enclosed areas of commercial boats when I was a deckhand, back in the 70s and 80s.
Hot, rusty water burns the skin...
the bolt that gos there. I believe it has a spacer on it. Mine broke and I can not find it.
Going out to shop here soon. I'll see if i can get a picture.

There are several companies that make "adapters" that move the shifter in one direction or another to include SST.
Here you go Dave. No spacer, just the bolts. Same kind at each end. 10-4
1/4 20 carriage bolt little longer than 1/2 inch 0.625 Zinc
Keps nut 1/4 20 nut and washer attached together. Phosphate
Oh yeah forgot to mention. The carriage bolt has those flats right under the head right? To keep them from turning.
What makes you think there was a spacer? All the correct bracing/ brackets there?
Car had a repaint so maybe the painter lost the bolts. My bracket on both ends had a spacer in between the 2 pieces of metal that the hood seal screws to. I will look tomorrow for the snapped bolts and post a pic.
