how much to cut brothers???
Okay guys so I installed the b&m megashifter on my 1985 trans am that has power windows and mirrors... my QUESTION IS how much or what exactlybshould I be cutting on the top plate??? I screwed up when cutting my original plate so I had to spend $50 on a good one that came with all new switch. Now before I go loko and start cutting this bad boy I need advice from someone who has done a CLEAN install before on a trans am. Pics would be much appreciated if anyone knows deminsions that would be a life saver as well. I am actually repairing my center console vinyl because of the common pelling away from the plate area right now while I wait for the new plate to come in the mail. I justvwant to cut this so it looks really good in there please any help or any recommendations would be great thanks a millions all.

I have seen a lot of clean install pics of trans am and birds with power Winders and mirrors with the megashifter so I know someone on here has had to do it. Come on brothers what's the secret?

Re: how much to cut brothers???
Did you get the "standard" Megashifter, or the console model specific for the Third Gen cars?
I'm going to take a wild guess that the majority of the clean installs you have seen were with the model specific variant, which would require no cutting.

might be a good idea to make a template first out of cardboard, plastic, aluminum, etc. get it to fit perfect, then copy/transfer your marks to the new piece.

Winders was a joke on purpose.... I purchased the console megashifter that is specific for 82-92 our cars.

You still have to cut the console megashifter in the birds. Its a direct fit for camaros but it takes a little modification for trans am and birds.
