Robert,
I didn't think that even modifying the remote would work. It would still
be too far back, not to mention the height. I was thinking about
eleminating the remote and mounting the shifter directly to the opening on
the trans where the remote attaches. I still have to get under the car and
do some measuring to see if that would be close.
It would be good if some BMC car used the 4 synchro trans with a direct
shifter. That would keep me from having to make something.
