55.2-59 Column Shifter ... rod or cable

[QBRacing]

Hey all. just after some advise on what people are doing to connect a column change to a 4l60e trans.

I just bought in a lokar ACA1804 however this isn't suitable for a 4l60e trans due to the plastic gear box on the side of the trans. basically once mounted the cable from the support is at to big an angle to the lever to work.

option1
I'm thinking I might make another trans mount and push the support out 25mm to straighten the run but that's likely to impede the exhaust options....

option2
modify the factory 4l60e lever bracket and hope I get the spacing right for the cable join section (which I can get from the lokar lever rod). this would pull the lever arm in and straighten the cable run

option3
it looks like an ACA1800 pushrod style may work but I'm not not sure about making it clear the brake pedal (currently not fitted)

any pics or help appreciated...
