US Car Tool A518 Cross member

I like this idea, considered this for a long time....Question,
I see the floor shifter issue will need to be dealt with (bracket for the floor shift rod does not have a location to bolt onto the A500-518) What are some ideas to solve this? I did see one idea in pictures (welding the bracket to the trans X member) As well, what are you using for the throttle kick down , linkage or cable, locker?
