Thanks!! I did have something in mind like the first picture... But, once I saw the original, I figured I had enough tubing to just cut it down and keep the factory bend to clear the guibo... And since I have gone up in size on that guibo, I need all the clearance I can get...

I was ready to set all that up today too... That stupid JB Weld had to fail right off the bat... So, I will have to wait until Tuesday morning to test fit everything... The driveshaft should be ready and I'll have the arm welded up (if it doesn't melt into a small puddle of aluminum)... I lock-tight'd the one half of the selector rod and will use the nut to lock down the other half... I can break the nut loose, pull it from the shifter and do one rotation (in or out) to adjust... I could make them all like that, but cut more from the center to have a better plus and minus from zero adjustability... I do have pictures, but since the JB Weld didn't work, I can ditch those pictures...

Cheers for now!!!
