Finaly got my plate made up and my shifter installed! Works great and I even used the centering spring without any problems whatsoever

For you guys with the 2000 SVT this is the way to go...it will not crack, break or leak. I used Y2KSVT's instructions and instead of using plexiglass I used a piece of .125 aluminum plate and a piece of .125 closed cell foam rubber for a gasket. If you have a 2000 SVT and are intersted in a plate PM me and we can work a deal.
With Y2KSVT's instructions as my guide here are the pic's I took throughout the install. You can also go to
web page for the pic's and read the captions to each pic.
