Puma shifter on RS Turbo?

Puma shifter on RS Turbo?
Anyone done this conversion?
I believe that they can be fitted as they are but this moves the shifter backwards, meaning new holes have to be drilled to mount it to the floor. Does that mean that the gasket wont work so will piss water into the car?
Failing that, do they need chopping down to fit? If so, can anyone supply me with any info?
My standard RS shiter is awful

I fitted one to my estate, bolts straight onto the box and it's 10mm shorter so hole need drilling. The whole centre console still fits straight back in. Will upload a couple of pics tommorow if you want?

The 2 10mm bolts you can see are the back brace off the new selector.
Is a brilliant cheap mod, gear selection is as good as quick shift

Yes it litterally bolted straight to the box (both bars straight on) then lifted it up and marked the holes. Took me 20 mins tops.
I see no reason why it shouldn't fit a frst, may even be a direct swap as fez one is shorter that an escort.
I cannot stress how good and easy this mod is, if you've ever drove a puma you would know.
Heres a pic of my centre console all back together

Yes, the casing has more webbing meaning less flex under high torque, the bearings are bigger (like a CTS box), but no they dont come with a diff... The S2 LSD drops in though so not a problem.
Effectively an IB5 box is a CTS box without shot peened gears and a quaife diff.... for about £25!!!!
I ran my last IB5 for over a year (about 10k miles) with around 270bhp and it didnt break, prior to this I have broken three BC boxes with much less power... snapped main shafts, stripped teeth, etc.

Bring back old skool Ford
I have one of these lying in the garage for years, never actually fitted is because the non centering put me off and iirc the bars cross over underneath???
