The brackets are too expensive to have made up (I dont think anyone would buy them). I would be more then happy to send up the templates for the brackets to you. I posted pictures of the brackets below.

The large bracket bolts down to the same 4 studs that the stock shifter bolted to. The new shifter then drops onto the tabs on the top of the bracket.

The smaller bracket is for the shifter cable. The shifter has a rear exit cable so the pull is opposite the stock shifter. The shifter arm has to be flipped up to reverse the action. The new bracket is made to relocate the cable and align it for the shifter arm.

Very nice. I might have to take you up on that and have some made.

I just got done buttoning everything up, rehooking up all the controls in the center console, bolting the seats back in and harnesses. I also did the traction control/stabilitrack button delete (no more pushing and holding). Now it goes right into traction control/stabilitrack off.

I sat in the seat and Damn this thing shifts great! I should have done this a long time ago!

Looks almost factory!

BaltzSS · Oct-30-09, 12:47 PM

Now, you just need to change the handle on the e-brake to match....

Ghicks99 · Oct-31-09, 12:16 AM

We need something to work with the stock 4l60e!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**Karo** · Oct-31-09, 01:09 AM

Great work Joe! Mind sending me the template for the brackets? I have something in mind which would work out great.

If anyone is interested in any of the B&M or Hurst Shifters, send me a PM, I have a great hookup on all of their product line so I can get you some great savings

Thanks!

The seats are custom made by Corbeau to match out interior. I can have a set made for you no problem, I would just need you to send me the cover off your headrest.

The B&M Pro Bandit Shifter, 4 Speed Gate, 8ft Shifter Cable and the Custom Brackets are needed for the install.

choker1011 · Oct-31-09, 07:50 PM

thanks how much are the seats

So this thread went from a nicely installed aftermarket shifter to a 8 or 10:71 blown Camaro.

How and why?

uhh.. Note my quote in my first reply. Joe's comment just got me thinking. Seeing his tbss in person and then hear him talk about the next round of mods for it brings this video to mind.

Ghicks99 · Nov-07-09, 02:54 AM

Will this shifter setup work with our stock tranny or will it have to be modified???

Slowride · Nov-07-09, 06:06 AM

If I can get a copy of the template, or a good set of prints, I can make the brackets for anyone who is interested. Not sure on the price, but it shouldn't be too bad. I would have to do a set first. P M me and let me know if your interested.

sounds good looks good i dont know joe but looks like he is the man.
