They are called Riv-nuts.
You can install them using a bolt and washers. No need to use the expensive tool.

Now that I see your pics, I realized that I remembered it wrong. I thought it was passenger side top bolt, but it was the top drivers side one. On some car, I remember a half moon type clearance notch in the floor pan/firewall pinch weld right about where that bolt would be. It's a later A body or an E body more than likely, or maybe all cars after a certain point of dealer mechanics griping about no room to get to the bolt...lol.
On the shifter linkage, the 1-2 & 3-4 levers go above the torsion bar crossmember, and the R lever with the dog leg in it goes underneath it. The factory left the floor pan metal on top of the crossmember just like you did.

re the selector rods the lower rod goes under the crossmember while the other 2 go above it in the new 'void' created by the new hump.

ok, switched gears a little, too hot for me to work where the Dart is, so playing in my air conditioned garage;)
I've cleaned up the side plate on my A833, put new o-rings on 1/2, 3/4, but the reverse lever, do I have to pull the tail housing off to get the reverse o-ring?
I've had this motorcycle stand seems like forever, works well for what I'm using it for.
So, the question was/is, to replace o-ring, does the tailshaft have to come off?
Blasted these, but won't be using this shifter plate.

A833 questions
Hi, I'm installing an A833 in my '63 Dart, I was going to just install it, but started looking at it a little closer. Actually started with installing o-rings and see I have to remove the reverse, detent? A few youtube videos and I can do this! I have overhauled a T90 Jeep transmission with the...
