Shift handle dimensions 16+ camaro I am looking for some specific dimensions of the shift handle that the stock shift **** mounts to. I have a 2002 F-body T56 and I want to use the 2018 SS Camaro Hotwheels edition shift **** so I need to make an adapter to make it fit. I am having a hard time finding the dimensions.
Thanks

IDK but it looks like an odd shape from what I've seen but I've not taken mine off. There are kits to mount a GEN5 **** in a GEN4, but I haven't seen a lever made to mount in a GEN4 that also mounts a GEN6 ****. If you already have the **** you should be able to measure it and get the dimensions you're needing.
Just some food for thought. You may want to consider a leather GEN6 **** over an alcantera ****. The leather pieces in the GEN6 look really good and have the vented holes in them and they just hold up to frequent driving way better than alcantara does. Plus they cost less than the alcantara pieces. I own a SS 1LE and agree that the alcantara is cool and all, but after a few thousand miles you're just like, "****, my alcantara steering wheel and shift **** is looking dated way more than it should for a car with this few a miles. The RR guys say, "you should be using gloves when driving with alcantara anyway so don't complain about it wearing fast." I'm not going to drive around on the street with gloves on, especially as a daily.

I already have the **** so I will live with it. This car isn't a daily driver. I have owned it for 3 years and only put 2,000 miles on it. (1995 Mazda RX-7, LS Swap). Yeah Hawkmotorsports had the Gen 5 to Gen 4 adapter. I think they are working on the Gen 6 to Gen 4 adapter. I am going to upgrade to an MGW shifter as well. I was hoping they would have a shifter option for the Gen 6 already so I could just buy the handle.

Still looking for the dimensions of the shift handle attachment feature.
Also curious what the color code is for the Antarctica. I'd like to get a shift boot made that fits my Mazda shift boot frame
