Brad, your suggestion would indeed work. You would just need to know what length would be optimal for what your desired feel would be. There is also a shifter extention block with twin needle bearing cassettes off eBay that would achieve similar results.
I started my schmiedmann SSK project before the release of the UUC. I also wanted to get rid of the plastic pivot ball and control/adjust the different variables. I'm in the final stages of mine with the first fitment this weekend.
Keep us posted on the route you choose.
