Here's a link to 4 pix of my homemade rearset pieces.
I had to lengthen the shift lever and I put the roller on the end to make it shift smoother.
Otherwise it's just the aluminum flat stock. No other adjustments needed.
I am very pleased with the outcome.
I tried for hours to get the pix on the forum, but I guess I,m too far behind in the technology.

Looks pretty dang good, how did you cut it and shape it? :thumb:
Looks great!
I'm interested to see what you did on the shift lever side.

Looks like he has just cut and welded more in. There is more pictures in the album.
very nice!
I used a piece of 1/4 inch plywood about the size needed as a template and screwed it, using the original holes, to the frame.
Then positioned the original bracket were I wanted it and marked the holes on the plywood.
After measuring the distance between the original frame holes exactly, I transferred the the hole dimensions to a piece of 1/4 inch aluminum plate. I then used a compass, centered in the hole center, and drew a nice radius for the edge of the part.
connecting these radii with a straight line give you the part.
A saber saw, drill and file gives you the part.
My GS is a 1996 and 'Dupli-Color Perfect Match' BGM0347 is really close.
