I have a B&M "Pro Stick" installed in the console of my car, but it's not flush. The mechanism doesn't allow you to do that, so the console plate has to be trimmed to fit the B&M housing inside of it but in the end, I'm very pleased with the final result and most of all, the way it operates!...It's almost "fool proof", no more missed shifts, hitting neutral, etc...
Claude.
P.S: "Mr T type", your console appears to be the same as an '87 console except for the wood grain...
Mark, Do you have any more pics on how you mounted you shifter. You show one pic from the passenger side, but would love to see more pics. So you think you could help a friend in need? I would really appreciate it.
