That would solve the height issue by creating a spacer and should be stout enough to support the forces be placed on the arm. Basically retain the front bushing set up and then would need to do something on the back. If you could use a bushing instead of just a bolt it should improve shift feel (I'm guessing here).
OR.....
Just fab your own out of a plate of steel. Determine the diameter of the shifter and make a new socket for it.
Something like this silly thing I drew  |
Good day!!!
Crazy that you mentioned both of these ideas... I was planning on going one of these routes... Great minds think alike!!
Okay, so... I have three options here...
Go with the original design and either get a new one and fix it up or fill in the gap with the one I have now...
Go with a spacer and the newest idea... Mounting that section of arm solidly to a plate of some sort and mounting that to the "tower" using the three existing holes...
Make a new socket for the pivot ball on the shifter and mount that to the tower... I like this new last idea, but the fab work on it would require most to pay a lot to get it done...
Hmmmmmm.... What to do!!!!
Cheers!!!
