Hi Trent - Here's a pic of the installation of the Long V-gate shifter for left-hand operation in the RMR I built in 2009. The thin red arrow shows the forward cable mount. As you can see, I used clevises (clevi?
) to attach the 1/4" Morse cables to the shifter, requiring a bushing and a few shims(each).
The cables pass through tubes in the rear firewall (calked with fireproof clay) to the trans. Attachment at the trans should be self-explanitory.
Sorry it took so long to respond.
