I have thought about making a new top plate with the opening for the shifter cup and then using the console overlays for while, but haven't gotten around to it. Right now I have my Hurst competition Plus and T-handle sticking through an Auto console with an oversize boot. Less than ideal, but I have other projects I am working on that are more imporatant.

the overlay isnt going to be an issue for me, I am just going to paint the top plate, and the compartment door, gloss black to match the exterior, never been a big fan of the wood inside the Bird.
I have been looking at pictures of a manual console, but its not too clear since the picture size is small
it looks like that shifter plate sits inside the original square
