Don't know yet, might have to drill the whole and then use a needle file to
file the splines or see if I can get a small saw blade to cut them in.

Paul,
How would you go about making the splines?
Just curious.

Ok everyone, here is something that might be of interest to some. I have the
big long floorboards (DB or so I am told they are called) and I was needing
the shifter to go with these. I got one but it broke on the first shift as
it had a hairline crack running thru the end where it fits on the shift
shaft. To make a long story short, I have found a place to make me an exact
copy out of cast aluminum like the original for relatively cheap. The only
thing you would have to do is sand and polish it up to look nice and shiny
and also drill and make the splines to fit on the shaft, and then drill and
tap the hole for the nut to tighten it all down. Turn around time is great,
I went in Monday and picked them up this morning. They are an exact copy. If
anyone is interested, then let me know. I might even have them make some
more floorboards too.
