One final bit of preparation required on the chassis before the body can go on is the fitting of the gear shift selector and then cutting a suitable hole in the steel sheet chassis cover.
With the Tremec box you get the option of fitting the selector in either the forward or reverse position. Given we are of similar height, I asked Andy at GD what his preferred position is and he said he likes the selector in the rearwards position as the cranked lever takes put the head of the shifter in an ideal place.

Once the gear shift position was finalised this then needed transferring to the the transmission tunnel and a hole cutting here to allow the body to be fitted.
I used the body mounting holes/brackets as a reference point and went from there.
