Hey guys, I have an old megashifter that I was playing with to see how a new one would mount in my '70 El Camino. Right now the interior is stripped out, including the carpet.

I can't see how you guys mount these things without using some type of spacers or cutting and welding a new panel in.

Please let me in on this secret, the Elco floor should be the same as any '68-'72 Chevelle. Pics would be great too.

In my chevelle, I bent and welded a piece of sheetmetal to the tunnel. Before welding it to the floor I tacked a couple bolts coming up through it from the underside to make it easier to take the shifter on and off.

On my Elky, I used washers and bolts to mount it.

A friend and I did something similar in his GTO as what Tim did- Went to the HW store, found a good peice of stainless steel- drilled & mounted 4 bolts through it(pointing up)- and then used 2 bolts(pointing down) in the middle(off set) to bolt it to the hump.

Completely removable later- and the mega shifter can easily be removed/reinstalled separatly too.

B&M sells a light-truck version. It has an adapter bracket that give you many degrees of freedon. I"ll try and send you a picture later.

When I had the bench and no consol. I used one, and had it sitting off to the left side of the hump.
