The arm off the vertical rod needs to be effectively shortened (hole to hole distance), I believe it is from 1.5" to 1.25" (this is from memory as I haven't done this in a while and this was on an A-body, but I believe those pieces may have the same levers). I also have the taller version of the slapstick (longer handle) from a later B... No pictures on this computer, though.

I thought about the slapstick but really wanted to stay away from all the linkage and just use a simple cable. I have the hurst V-matrix which is a bit too tall. Maybe the pro matic has a shorter body??
