R.C, it would definitely be cool if next year it had bearing mount holes in the same location as the shifters. That was the one problem we had with our custom shifters that used the 3 CIM SS plates, and if those bearing holes were there from the start it would make things so much easier.
Agreed

Oversight on my end. We have used press fit only in the past but over the years have made sure geometrically stuff is retained. In the normal non wcd ss it's not an issue but in the wcd version it is.

I'll make sure a better fix happens at the end of the season.
