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?

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.
