Conn 88H thumb paddle/lever

I have a mechanical link Conn 88H with a Paddle type lever. I find it's not quite long enough. Is there a DIY way to extend the paddle ?

The simplest way is to close the angle between the slide and bell sections when you assemble the horn. It doesn't have to be 90 degrees.

Simple solution but effective. Thanks.
