T56 shifter suggestions

Looking for a suggestion for a shifter on a T56, I have done the mid shift relocation and have made a temp shifter for now.

I purchased a Lokar Double Bend and it wasn't close enough for me. I recently had shoulder surgery and was trying to make shifting a little easier.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Just curious what finally worked out for you? I'm doing an LS t56 magnum swap on a bench seat 72 c10.

I used a 16" double bend Lokar in mine, mounted in the mid-position. Clears the bench fine, but not sure how'd it do with your shoulder situation. Perhaps you could have someone weld an extension to it?

I ended up selling the Lokar and using an old hurst shifter rod my father had lying around. I drilled an old piece of steal and bolted it up to extend it in the correct angle for the time being. I will rethink the problem once I replace the bench with a set of Procar buckets.
