Default Sig Senior Taildragger Conversion question

I'm looking for plans, advice, and or tips on how best to convert a Sig Senior into a tail dragger. Relocating the main gear is easy enough. Its the tailwheel that requires a little planning.

All the tailwheel packages I've seen on the market are driven by the rudder directly. On the Sig Senior, this is impossible because it is blocked by the elevator.

Should we run a second pushrod out of the fuselage and drive the tail wheel that way, connected to the rudder pushrod? How do we isolate the rudder servo from shock?

Thanks!
