Zoup2nuts/Bob,
I think the vendor you speak of is MotraTech which was a good outfit run by John . . . . M . . ., well, "John M." He posted here as Ryland3210, - a good guy, very knowledgeable.
Graham's post above, Cafesport, is from 2011 and he hasn't been logged on for a coupla-three years. (another good guy and very capable and knowledgeable).
You can see in his pictures the "dogleg" the gear shift lever takes just before the rubberized toe contact - this is where he added the inch.
