What happened to the rivnut in this discussion......did I miss something?
I mounted my shifter with steel Rivnuts and, in my application, (LMP-1) it is solid as a rock. I fabricated aluminum brackets out of 1.5" X 3/16" angle, which are bolted solid to the shifter box, and in turn bolted to the side panel with seven 5/16" bolts through the steel rivnuts.
The brackets could be classified as "billet," which of course adds more horsepower. :laugh:
The side panel is constructed of some fairly thick and solid sheeting, and of course you don't actually "slam through the gears" anyway if you are a good driver. However, I feels like it could take a real beating.
Perhaps the aluminum brackets could be extended or modified, or taken to an aluminum welder, for other applications.
I'm no expert,....... just how I did it for my application, but for me the hardest part was getting a shifter that had a reverse lock-out in the proper location!
