I've thought about it, but I don't think it'll work for us. Measure the distance between the shifter in 1st gear and 3rd gear. I think the position of the shaft overlaps, which would make it impossible for you to have individual gates. The ferraris use a very thin shaft, and I think there's also a wider throw between gears.
shoot
Trial and error, make a carboard template and get the rough in, then thin aluminum then move on to your rough final piece
Likely have to make a custom shift plate to go with it and look decent

If you've ever driven a car with the plate, it's looks alot nicer then it is to actually shift with.
