I have to notch the front of my console for the T56 shifter, had a couple of ideas...
Aluminum or stainless (brushed/polished) plate that would cover the rear portion of shifter opening and go up to the ashtray with a 1/4" or so wide strip going around the edge with a roll-over or "sharp" 90* into the opening (like OEM)...or....
A large plate that goes from the ashtray opening flaring out to full width and rolling out over both sides of console, stopping at the rise by the switch panel. Maybe continuing on the right side up and around the E-brake opening.
With this panel I was thinking about brushed alum or stainless, but they scratch easily. Wife suggested a black, high gloss powder coat. Then I added maybe a polished "SC", "Bird" or "bird w/SC" to the rear of the shifter opening.
Let me know your opinions. If you have pics of emblems, I would like to see them.
Thanks, MikeH
