This thread will be my ongoing progress of my paddle shifter setup for my Seabring Column. Helpful input will be accepted however this is one of those threads where everybody has there own opinion of what they think is "Right Way". So unless you have something helpful or beneficial to add, your post will be deleted. I know things can always be done "better" or "approved upon" so this is just one way of doing this.
First thing I did was make a templet that would act as my base plate that fit inside of the column cover, added 4 holes where the original airbag sensor originally screwed to, then test fit where I wanted the paddles to sit, I used the Plasma and cut the base out of 16 gauge sheet metal and test fit it with the column cover.
