All I had to do for mine was cut a small section out of the torsion housing (as the gbox is now slightly longer) and mod the area (with a mallet) under the back seat where the seat belt anchorage points are, as the gbox touches in this area.

Pic of notch in torsion housing............sheet metal plate gets welded over the top to seal the hole. ;)

Rear parcel shelf area (at seat belt anchorage point) is "massaged" with a mallet to allow for the larger selector/mid housing of the Berg 5.
