In replacing all of the bushings, ball cup, shift balls and spring guides on my '70 tailshifter, I noticed alot of wear in the stop plate. I want to rebuild it and need the dimension of the slot in the stop plate (the spring loaded plate inside the shifter) that the gearshift rod rides inside of that is shaped somewhat like an old fashioned keyhole. Don't need the size of the circle or the length of the slot but really need the width because that I would think would affect the amount of throw. Much appreciated.

Put some weld in there, restore the damaged side to be parallel with the undamaged side. Grind/file it into shape. I'd use a MIG welder so I had a nice hard weld. There should be enough undamaged area to get a measurement. Look at the shaft of the shifter, too. Odds are, it'll need to be built up and restored with a grinder or file. The plate is available from the dealer. 901 424 017 00. $48.72 list. If I were doing this job, I'd buy a new one while I still could.
