Dan,
Never tried that particular make, but F%$D Broncos have a similar type
(although mounted up on the firewall) with a linkage that goes off at about a
50-60* angle.
Also, a Do$ge MotorHome I have, has a similar setup, again form the
firewall, goes from the booster, then out near a 90* turn to the MC.
I guess what I'm saying is the setup shouldn't pose problems, if that was
your concern?
