                I cut the selector rod about 3/4ths of the way through, twisted it fairly easy, and welded it.

                    Should be right in the middle, but I guess I will just snap a quick pic.

                      um.....this isn't that hard to do at all. put two deep sockets on the studs and bend till you get to 10 degrees(give or take). you're bending the studs not "twisting" the selector rod.

                        when i did this, i literally took each end of the selector and put it into the ring part of 2 spanners. it twisted with no effort. piece of cake!
