Greg isn't kidding about you moving fast on this! I did brace up the shifter bracket, and that curvy piece of linkage didn't come close to working for me either. I attempted to fabricate my own. It fit and sort of worked, but it was real iffy whether both front and rear shift rods landed where they needed to when shifting. I ended up getting the twin shift sticks from ORD which took all the guesswork out. I hope your fabrication goes more successfully.
