The BAD AST Project - Faze II

[astroracer]

I also got the doghouse notched out to drop the shifter cable level with the top

I started small and worked my way up to something that fits the shifter well. I will probably open this up a bit more on the sides but for right now it does the job.

Here is a shot of the steel bracket that the shifter bolts to. I made this out of some 20ga. sheet. It will get some reinforcment underneath before it gets 'glassed in.

Set in place. This locates the shifter and gives me four thru bolts for attachment.

Here is the bracket all riveted in. This is plenty stout as it is but I'll throw some 18 ga. gussets in there before glassing...

Looking at the shifter all bolted in...

The cable bracket removes very easily and I have an S clip on the linkage to hold it in. I will end up drilling a 1/16th inch hole thru the post for that.

What do you think?
Thanks for looking
