Before the U-bracket could be bolted to the sides of the transmission, an access hole had to be cut into the backside of the shifter box. In this picture you can see where the access hole was added, the bottom bolt for the U-bracket installed, and then a plug inserted to re-seal the hole. For anyone curious, the hole was drilled in the case with the transmission and shift linkage installed in the car. A Forstner bit was used which shaved away layers of material like a lathe and produced a hole with clean square edges.
