I made
this bracket by cutting out 3X3 angle iron and drilling some holes to shorten the throw. The up-over-up portion places the shifter in the
middle of the floor in an AD cab. You can see here how I
bent shifter arms and shortened shifter dogs (I made my own) to decrease the overall shifter throw.
No, this isn't a Saginaw like what you have but it is an example of making a shifter fit to where
you want it.
