That will work great!
And a very low cost option.
I have Ted's hand shifter and it is very slick.
A bit more refined that yours but yours is a great at-home version.

I really like sitting at a signal in neutral and shifting into first by hand.

Agreed! I dig hand shifting my Drifter!

I have one of Teds as well but haven't installed it yet. Is there any drilling that needs to be done in the install?

I fabricated a jockey shift for my drifter.  Took one afternoon using a Vice, drill and a cutting wheel.  simple easy to build and looks and works great. took some thickwall chrome tubing, 2 small brackets, a chrome strap. a threaded adjustable rod with clevits, a small clamp and a nuts and bolts.  Take chrome rod and bend to the curvature of the gas tank while keeping the rest perfectly straight.  find some thick flat steel and cut and drill to the shape shown in pics.  you may decide to drill and extra hole for bracket on each side for stability.    slide shift thru and determine where to cut to size.   Tap an appropriate size thread for a bolt to hold bracket.[if you are using soft steel for the tubing you may be able to tap with a bolt, just go slow and straight,,,and replace with a new bolt after]  and chrome strap. to the other end add rod.   bend a short scrap of sheet metal aronud shifter and attach to rod.  I used an old BMW shift knob pressed on to shifter..done!  Go riding!
