After putting in a 205, the shift throw is so long I can't find a dust cover for the shifter, have any of you guys heated up and bent the shifter to be more straight up an down?

Bending the 205 shifter to retrofit?

Are you lost? Who let you out of The Lounge?????
I've had to heat and bend one a little because the throw was longer after adding a body lift.
Thought I might start working on my Blazer now that I have started to reclaim my own shop space and if I'm not drinking I will actually have time now.
I have heated and bent them to fit my non-stock applications. Works great. The only issue for you may be if your shifter is chrome. Heating and bending will blue and possibly crack the chrome. If that happens and it concerns you, bead blast it for some texture and paint it black.
did the np 205 shifter come in different lengths?
That was going to be my next question. If they do and I just need to get one that will fit better, that might be easier.
pics of a few styles
I'm not able to see the pics. could someone repost?
