I originally went with this.
I built it with some extra Pibow extension layers I had on hand. They are discontinued now.

@hel Hel Gibbons very graciously gave me some of the nice long extended bolts.

That let me redo things for a more compact setup.
I used the longer cable.

I’m really happy with how it turned out. =)
