It's actually too far back when it's 'turned around' which actually puts it in the middle of the three locations available.
In this position, it is still about 4" too far back. The thing is, all other 289 (replicas) use that 'mid' position and it works for them perfectly. BJ's car (very similar to mine) uses the 'mid' position and his shifter is positioned perfectly. Mine, for some reason that hasn't hit me yet, is 4" too far back in the mid position. TKO and TKX (mine) are very close in dimensions, so I just can't work out why I need to use the forward most shifter location.
