Default 5 speed shift pattern plate for '68 vette

I've seen pics somewhere...I'd like to get a new shift pattern plate to go with the 5-speed. Where?

Yep, Keisler has them. $10 ea. They are NOT embossed like the factory plate. They are silk-screened aluminum. They fit fine and look pretty good (points off for not being embossed and chromed).

You could have an engraver make a plate with a raised area for the shift pattern. You would have to supply them with art.

I think there is a forum member that goes by the name "Engraver". Not to volunteer anyone but he may be able to tell you how to do this.

Got mine from Keisler. Looks stock until you get real close to it. Noone will ever know

Richmond Gear has them, too, for both five and six speeds that stick on over the original shift pattern area.

Just be forewarned. The T56 shift pattern is not the same as the Richmond.
