Jocko - Can you please update your thoughts on using the Lokar Double Bend Lever with the Core Shifter base

I am wanting to go this same route but the Core Shifter guy was trying to discourage it.

Just wanted to see how your solution of having the pass through bolts and nuts was working out long term, still a solid feel and solution?

Thanks for the help

Per Core Shifters "Lokar sticks are made to use 8mm mounting bolts
like most stock shifter bases. All Hurst shifter bases have 3/8"-24
threads. So to use a Lokar stick you need to run longer bolts through and
put nuts on the back side. And of course the Hurst serrations will not be
utilized. It's not the best approach. I recommend a Hurst chrome stick
instead."
