Tubularfab, if I can't find a setup from another chassis that is close enough to make work, I'm also looking at various electric solenoids that are made for this purpose. Haven't found one I like yet though.

This one looks like it might bolt right up. MERCEDES BENZ 92-96 BROWN LEATHER GEAR SHIFTER SHIFT | eBay

Would like to find the brake pedal assy too.
