Nice clear video mate!. Thinking of doing the same on my VN build. I might try and use some type of black brushes between the shifter gates underneath the console cover to hide the ratchet mechanism.

Awesome video, mate. Senator is coming up nice, ute is schmick and that's the cleanest B&M install I've ever seen. Only thing that would hold me back on doing the same is that I like the stock shifter handle too much to part with it.
