If anyone has an extra, I'm in need. I've got a near mint shifter I've had since new but misplaced the plate. Can anyone help?

I've done a template explaining how the cup plate could be done. The pictures I send to Lidds explain how it works clearly. It can be made with a standard shifter plate and some pieces of a shifter base plate. Not so hard to do, you only need some welding skills.

On the 6 DDS shifters I have, 4 had the springs. But I tried the shifters on my chassis, with and without springs, and to me, they seems to be useless. The spring is a standard vw shifter spring.

guillaume, you sent me the pictures about six months ago. I'm not in a big hurry so I haven't tried to build one myself, I was just hoping that maybe someone cam across another original they didn't need.

Thanks
