Don't see how yer gonna avoid it. The Loadstar 5spd on my pallet rack has a
'gentle swan's neck' bend in the shifter. The light line unit next to it has
darn near a 90deg bend at the bottom to get it out from under the dash.

You need 2 accessories to mount like that, the generator and a big rig air
brake compressor. Or, you could just install a hydraulic pump and quick
connects front/rear and run whatever the heck you wanted to at both ends ;)
