Lokar column shift linkage...halp!

[Rede]

I need some help in figuring where the aluminum column A-shaped bracket is supposed to point in relavence to the cable...

1980 K10, 3" body lift, tilt steering column from a 79, th400 tranny and lots of headache!
/cry


1. The instructions call for drilling linkage tab that sticks out of the column and installing a brass looking crescent shaped bracket...only the tab on mine is short and there's hardly room to drill one hole let alone a second one.

2. The A-shape aluminum bracket's mounting surface is too wide (flops around on column) by I may be able to shim it with some rubber hose or something...

3. There is no instructions on where to point said aluminum bracket. Does it point to 5 o'clock? 7 o'clock? 2 o'clock??
I've googled pictures of it, but there's no clear instructions and I can't reach from 3-7 o'clock because I'm hitting the bottom of the firewall...


Either I'm not under standing these directions properly, this kit isn't designed for trucks because of the limited space from end of column to the firewall, or I'm missing some sorta insider tip on how to assemble this thing.....
