i know i kind of puss'd out with this one (i couldn't find a plate and didn't want to have the car down for any longer than absolutely necessary). the closest thing i found was really thin sheetmetal, i used self tapping screws and a lot of silicone to seal up the hole, but then i just used another bigger self tapping screw to bolt the very front of the shifter bracket to the body. if you lay the shifter into place over the M6 trans tunnel, you will see where i'm talking about. i used the back two holes to bolt the back to the tunnel. worked out well.

I did a A4 to M6 swap and cut a lot of important looking **** out.
I've thought about swapping back, if I do I'm going to the junkyard with a battery powered sawzall and cut a chunk of the tunnel out of another car.
