Thanks for that print Ron, it looks nice. Not 100% sure if I will build a new one or move mine back, but the option is nice.

The way I take it, Douglas is saying that the end of the shifter handle ends up in basically the same spot.

You have it exactly right Captain. Now with the trans mount I am using, I had to remove a small rib near the mount to clear it. I wish I had presence of mind to take pix whilst it was apart, but it isn't all that big.
cheers,
Douglas

How many bolts did you use to secure it to the frame? I need a new mount for my NV4500, right now I have a hunk of channel and 2 bolts as my mount....not my design PO did that one.

I might give your design a try.

It's not supposed to rain tomorrow so I'll crawl under there and take a picture. It will make more sense if you see it welded up. I don't have the 5600in anymore but we used the same brace with a different tranny mount. The 5600 is a great mod in the first gen. The gear spacing made towing alot easier.
