The shifter is located in plane with the steering wheel, so its at a
comfortable distance and inches away from where your hand is on the wheel.

My design covers the stock heater control, this can be easily avoided
by mounting the shifter closer to the passenger seat. I needed the room for
my pipes. My heater valve is poking through the carpet.
