...and the Berg package even provides the drill bit to drill the new female
port for the retainer screw, in the OEM shift lever.

"You'll need longer bolts by the thickness of the spacer."

The handy feature of the Berg fabrication here is that the heightened new
screws are long, 6 (?) sided bolts that screw onto the old threads that the
OEM shifter/fulcrum plate attached to, and they have threaded holes on top
of them that the OEM plate screws into. Some home spun fabricating could be
done with a "stack" of nuts screwed onto a threaded male to raise the OEM
shifter plate the .75".
