Default Alpha/bravo shift bracket interchangeable?

Hey guys, I have Afew alpha shift plates that are brand new and when the new power goes in my boat the old cruddy bravo shift bracket won't do. I know I have to remove the interrupt switch that's a given but other then that they look very similar.

Now I haven't opened the boat up yet to compare them next to eachother but they appear to be very close to the same. Is the length of throw the same in the alpha and bravo drives for gear engagement?

Thanks guys like always

Mickey - I think they are interchangeable just do not need the shift interrupt switch. Jason - I am parting out a boat that has the alpha plates. If he is not going go sell his I may be able to hook you up.

Thanks port monster, that's what I was hoping for. If Jason is interested in em he can buy yours first, I usually don't like selling stuff just because shipping can be a hassle I'm usually a give things away when I'm sick of looking at it guy lol.

I have both the bravo and the alpha brackets off. I will (if I remember) pull them out and put them next to each other and check tomorrow.

The cable attachment on the bravo uis fixed, on the alpha it is on a spring loaded piece that moves to actuate the switch.

We do have a bunch of brand new complete Bravo plates we sell for $25 each.
