There are certainly chrome shops that can fill pitted pot metal castings - for a price. I'd suggest you run the pitted unit until you can find a better one. I'm not aware of any repros currently. Note that this console was used for 67-69 Cutlii as well as full size and Toros.

Should I use an aftermarket shifter, which one and will it have a top plate that will fit the original console.
Thanks bb

There are no bolt-in aftermarket units. Fabrication will be required.
