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. Wayne A. Ernst DMCTech Group vin 11174 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
