I would be more worried about whacking my hand off of it when driving, Have you thought about bending it or shortening it

Don't know if its still on there but there was a remote for a four speed Ford box on ebay yesterday, might be worth a look?

I had trouble with mine, when in third i rubbed my knee on it.

Im not sure if it still the same (if memory serves me correct) its not a problem now i have moved the clutch pedal back.

Welshboy have you got any pics of your gear extension?
We're coming up to mounting the gearbox and need to sort out the gear stick location.
