ha ha. iv been messing around with this for months, i found that if i lenghten the external housing by 40 or so millimeters the shaft will protrude into the engine bay at a good length, there is enough play in the shaft itself to compensate for this. mounting it to the body will be another problem as will securing the shaft to stop it from slipping into itself.
ke70 on top, ra23 on bottom. notice the indentation on the ke 70 column, that is what lines up with the holes on the second part of the shaft
extra length needed on ke70 column, 40-50mm
as to using other bottom section of the housing i have no idea, wreckers around my area don't have any exotic parts so that leaves me with the cut and shut option. this will depend on your engeneer i supose, as long as it looks good he may not notice it. Don't ask, Don't tell.
cheers mike
