If anyone ever needs to mount one of the Numeric shifters, I now have a mounting bracket for that. I'll have to get it added to my website in the next few days. The cut-outs along the mounting flanges are to clear the e-brake bracket as well as where the FFR shift-rod bearing mount brackets are welded to the top of the tubes.

BTW.....if anyone is ever interested in switching from your current Brandwood cable shifter to this Numeric shifter, you can use your existing Brandwood cables and just swap the ends out....with a bit of work. That saves a ton of money. The threads on the cables at the brandwood shifter side are 1/4-28. You need to go to a 12mm rod end for one cable and a 10mm ball socket for the other cable. I bought a 12mm rod end with a 12mm threaded male shank and drilled the shank out and tapped it to 1/4-28. I found a 10mm ball socket with 8mm female threads....so took an 8mm bolt and drilled it and tapped it out to 1/4-28 in my lathe....yeah, not much wall thickness left there, but it worked. Used permanent loctite to lock the 8mm threads into the ball socket and now have a 10mm ball socket with 1/4-28 female threads.

The Numeric shifter ran about $700. They quoted me about $1300 with the cables.....so keeping the Brandwood cables saves you about $600.
