I actually got my paddle shift working a couple years ago now... and I used the paddles from a 2010-12 Ford Taurus. I fitted them onto an FG wheel

The wiring pins for the U.S. Ford' clockspring are the same as the FG's... so they just needed to be depinned from the Taurus' plug and reinserted into the FG's.
I did have to heat up the column stalks to bend them away from the paddles a bit.. but not a great deal !

I've got the ZF 6spd in the Wagon... and it took a while to work out a reliable interface that just plugs into the auto stick plug... but what we ended up with works really well !

Great to see someone else having a go !!
