Hand tighten the shift cover plate. Place the shifter on the plate and then install the console (just snap it in, no bolting) ensuring a comfortable fit for you and your shifter.

Remove console and shifter and drill out the shifter plate.

This would also be a good time to drill an access hole for a transbrake and transmission fluid temperature gauge to easily pass through the cover plate.

Tighten down the shifter cover plate bolts. The nice thing about aluminum is that it will bend some to better fit the opening.
