One of the Dutch (or German?) DeLoreans at Eurofest last May had a s.s. 
shifter plate with the grooves cut into the plate for the various positions. 
I was very interested to see this since it was something I'd wanted to do. I 
noticed that the fingers, as you say, are very thin, which I don't think is 
terribly good looking. Worse, they are potentially breakable. Worse yet, 
they scrape at the shift lever, which I REALLY didn't like. I gave up that 
idea.
