I don’t think it would work through the rack mounts - i think it would still mean the straddle cable would be way too low. I do wonder if it would work on the seat clamp bolt though - it might clear the end of the top tube - at the moment the surly one I have doesn’t.
I’m very close to giving up on all of this and buying mini-Vs though. My main gripe with them is aesthetics and tyre clearance. I don’t want to use full Vs as I might want to put drops on this at some point (plus my flat bar levers are canti/road pull).

Would this work for your bodge, instead of pivoting on the seatclamp bolt, use a bolt through the rack mount. It's only about 30mm long from the pivot point
