Hummm, maybe this will help . I had a 54 ford with a bench seat with a 4 speed hurst shifter . Old car I could not reach the clutch as I wished (as well I am short) when in second or 4th with seat back . As well when I shift I like to be up on the wheel when car launches so I pushed seat all way forward . Then I took hurst shifter out and cut it right as it came into the car . Welded it after cut and bent so handle would go forward . Put it back to see if shifter cleared both gears and seat as well me up on the wheel . Worked , boot covered my adjustment . Now if that dinot not answer the question nor directed right , my other answer is just weld it to floor board lol
