After living with the cover to the Dual Gate with a broken off clip for ... well, forever, finally got around to finding a way to fix it properly.
Used the hardware I had in stock .. 4mm counter sunk flat head screw and then ground down a 4mm nut to fit inside the clip like a captive nut. Seems to work nice. Woodgrain should make it invisible. Bizarrely ... I still had the clip in a baggy.
And I'm on a mission to take the slop out of the shifter, nothing makes a car feel new like a tight, accurate shifter. Most of the Dual Gate pins are 0.250, most of the holes are about 0.260, going to see if I can make up some tighter tolerance pins, going through several linkage pins that .010" adds up. Most of the slop comes from the bottom of the shift lever where pin goes through it, going to have to see what I can do there ... can't really change the size of that pin I don't think.
