Here's a thread created by a member a few years ago to help install the dual gate. He included a lot of pictures and measurements so I think it will answer all your questions. Let us know if anything else comes up. John

If your converting from a column shift to floor shift you will need to drill a hole and enlarge it to about 1" for the cable to go through. Its in that link 2blue442 posted.

I'm almost positive you will need a different bracket on the selector shaft of the trans. It is not in that kit. It needs to have rectangle slot for the tip of the cable to be retained. That slot is where you adjust the cable.

When I installed mine, I don't remember using in stock holes. Figure out where is sits best. Since this is cable operated, you can fudge it back and forth left or right, it don't matter.

no its a factory floor shifter I am told there is a hole on the Hurst that is common with the factory holes my concern if I blow it the factory console wont line up right

I would mock it up, pick a spot on the floor temp mount the shifter and set the console on the brackets...Iirc the console mounting had some fore aft leeway like an 1/8th inch either way. The shifter needs to fit within a specific Area of the console

ya I can do that I was just hoping to find that one elusive hole that lines up to be sure.
