    There are 2 special nuts that are inserted into rectangular holes for the plate screws.

            To install when the shifter is there, put a screw in it and fish it in position with needle nose pliers, grab the screw to hold it.

            Then use a small tool to push the tabs inward to lock it in place.

                I removed the transmission tunnel access panel that surrounds the shifter. It was not an easy task but next time will be a breeze. The panel is held on by several screws around the edge and is also attached with sealer which I had to remove with a chisel and puddy knife. Thanks to Richard Mozzetta for his input which helped me on this issue.

                        Thomas, Glad I was able to help, thanks for the note.

                        FYI, this was your original post re the tunnel cover I think you are referring to.

                            FWIW those special nuts that Richard refers to are available at a GOOD hardware store. They are 10-32 thread size and are about $2.50 each. Shifter pattern plate covers the screws. I installed so in my 61.
