yeah tap and die and a welder. I cut the shift lever square and notched the rod to increase the surface area for the weld. You definitely don't want it breaking off while you're driving.

No I'll make the shift **** nice and I have it center drilled already. If I have the materials which I do I will make it nice.

Good idea. A bolt would not turn out right unless you covered the entire lever with the boot.
