both of your messages lead to a Lange cable set-up, downloaded a PDF
installation sheet from spdloader's link. Looks straight forward but
I might have a problem, my ceiling is 12' and the working range for
these is 7' - 10'.

I also don't like the idea of the cable running on the hypotenuse like
they have in these designs.

but thanks for pointing the direction, i'll keep looking.

This may give you a couple of ideas:

around the front and a couple of tied to length of ropes that loop release
hands at the back of my Seven.
