Nice clear video mate!. Thinking of doing the same on my VN build. I might try and use some type of black brushes between the shifter gates underneath the console cover to hide the ratchet mechanism.

Great video as always Chris! The installation of the shifter should look super neat once completed, so much better than the exposed variety! Hope the ute serves you well with car life and cheers for sharing mate!

Maybe some sort of carpet material to make up some sort of shift boot, replacing the black slide? May make it a bit cleaner rather than the slot wide open :)

Awesome video, mate. Senator is coming up nice, ute is schmick and that's the cleanest B&M install I've ever seen. Only thing that would hold me back on doing the same is that I like the stock shifter handle too much to part with it.

i contemplated welding the stock shifter to the B&M set up but welding alloy to steel was a no go
@MuscleCarLover3 жыл бұрын
@@MindieJ Simply having the handle on the B&M with the fitment of yours would go a long way to looking more factory fresh, just don't know how difficult it could be to change the handles over (referring to just the bit you actually hold, for clarity)
