you can buy buy the brackets from speed shops that sell the B&M's ie:VPW,Superplus etc.........A bracket was required to be made to make it work.

I have a pro ratchet that was in mine when I bought it. Had no end of dramas with the thing, skipping gears, moving at the shifter but not changing gears. Did a couple of things, had the linkages rebuilt which firmed up the movement heaps but still had some problems, found it to be the cable, as Tiny has said also. The cable had stretched at some point near very hot extractors or something so it would take two movements of the shifter to get it the desired difference. We took it out, greased it, mucked round with it a bit and its brilliant and I mean brilliant to up shifts, still doesn't work properly on down shifts tho - I'm leaving it for the moment cos I'm jack of it, hehe.
My trimatic is a manual valve bodied unit so its important that shifting is smack on, you might not need to rebuild the linkages etc. but make sure it is all hooked up spot on and you should be fine. They are great for quick shifting, ensure you don't over shift, lock you out of R and P but let you push it into N is you get a stuck throttle or something. I can get it into R and P one handed, its just a case of extending your middle and ring fingers to push on the red lever as you move the stick.

Just to clear it up, mine's on a TH400 in the monaro and it's all cable system.
Cheers!

O.k well I'm guessing mine doesn't have a stop pin fitted, because it has two positions in park. It has also never had the reverse lockout stay forward - I never even knew it was supposed to do this. Whats the problem for that then, purely wrong adjustment.the reason you must use the stop pin supplied is to stop too many clicks into park on trimatics which will damage the cable, the reverse lockout lever will stay forward when flicked while shifter is in neutral only.
The bracket always was the trimatic one but it was judged too flimsy so a stronger one was made. Perhaps the cable damage is as a result of the bad adjustment which the previous owner was driving with, rather than excessive heat...
