The reverse gate slot isn’t as deep as the other 2 ,that’s why you have to lift the lever up to engage reverse.
That’s why some remotes have a pivot point to allow the selector bar to lift up and engage reverse.
With the Eltos If you do the bodge way the selector rod is slightly shorter which will swing into the reverse selector but is then not fully engaged in the forward gear selectors.
A proper way is to deepen the slot in the reverse selector in the box so the full length Eltos rod fully engages in the gates.
Eltos remotes are not easy to set up right,I’ve found there’s usually not enough forward / back travel to engage the gears fully but certainly the 3 speed one when right gives a great gear change.
Several people have made these remotes,me included,the 4 speeds JB did had a larger gate arrangement than that pictured.The detent? For stopping accidental reverse engagement varied too.
It is possible to use a 4 speed box with a rear starter with a different scalloped gear box top.
