BPP Shifter SNAFU!!!!!!!!!!
I got my BPP shifter today! Everything was going good until I tried to bolt down the bpp shift base to my car. My factory bolts weremt long enough to thread into the base in the tunnel. I went to the hardware store and bought some lomger ones. The very first one I threaded in the head broke off of it!!!!!!!!!! I tried everything to get it out. Nothing worked. Now I have a "wallered out'' hole and only 3 bolts holding the shifter. I put silicon around the base to try to hold it a little more. It shifts fine and I think it should be ok.
Anyone know if I can Buy the piece that the shifter attaches to inside the tunnel and if so how and the HELL do I get it out????

Shudda got a bolt extractor...you drill a small hole inkto teh broken bolt..thread in the extractor into the hole...and rotate...still might be able to work some majic. Id think its not a good thing to run with three bolts

You can troll around for the base. Everybody that buys the C6 Zo6 shifter gets a new base, so their old one's just laying around.

Thanks to Ray (Willbc5) ive got one coming! Thanks RAY!
Oh and I tried the bolt extractor. It didnt work to well, when I tried to back it out it kept grabbing the aluminum instead of the bolt
