Because of the large radius of the left shifter the cable exit hole had to be drilled at a different angle to make this work.
that is one of the first things i saw- the exit angles looked different even though both housing stops are positioned vertically.
interesting. Thanks for the exolanation!
great use of ingenuity and creativity.
