The only reason I can think of having the stuff on the rocker cover is for an automatic transmission - vacuum valve connection and Bowden cable / rod linkage etc

How about using the back plate of the governor as a mounting point for a 1mm thick custom made mounting bracket for the new linkage? Slightly longer screws - through the new bracket - through the existing back cover (don't remove!) - into the governor housing. You should have enough space between the oil filter housing and the IP / governor on an OM616. It shouldn't be as cramped as on the turbo OM617...

Another awesome idea, Ill look into this. The astro throttle comes in from the passenger side of the engine area, and I may have a reference problem with the hatch going direct back, but maybe if I did a 45 degree pointing over to the valve cover, It would fit nicely!
