I used a piece of 1/2 copper tube a 1/2 inch to 3/8 inch reducer soldered on and a 1/8 inch pipe nipple pressed into the reducer.
Then for the shifter release pin I used a 3/8 bolt 5 inches long machined it to fit into the shifter tube and topped it of with an American Shifters blue and white layered and engraved shifter knob!
I'll post a picture or two !

I'll post a picture or two or have a look in my photos in my profile.

The black tube slides down over the stock shifter stick and the plunger pushes the release in the shifter stick I just have it in by fiction , I measured and cut the copper pipe to fit for length and gave the one end a tap of the hammer in squeeze the stick
