I SEARCHED, BUT......

I know it's been on here before about a gated shifter plate for our cars. But i never found any pics of anyone finishing one. Has anyone done so, if not i guess i'll be the first. I have a unlimited stock of 1/8 thick sheet metal at work and was thinking of maybe backing it up with some cork board so it doesn't make any noise. I am going to us a template out of cardboard first.
Of course i won't be able to do this for atleast another couple of weeks, due to work getting inspected. Darn military job keeps me too busy. thanks, in advance for any completed pics. dave

not to sure if you want to keep it stock but here is an idea.
or just trace out the stock one and fab up the new one.
