HELP - Need Fox dropper lever

Ordered a Fox Transfer dropper and 1x lever off Amazon because I had some Amazon gift cards to blow thru. Dropper is here, has been since Monday. Remote will not be here until next Monday...  Angry

I was really hoping to get this thing installed in time for Ride and Seek this weekend.

I know its a long shot, but...

Anyone got a cable actuated dropper lever that I could borrow/rent for the weekend? I don't care what brand/style it is, as long as it has a grub screw to pinch the cable at the lever end... Or, anyone knows of a local bike shop that may have something in stock that would work?

Fox dropper requires barrel end of cable at dropper base. If it was the other way around I might just try to rig something up with an old front shifter. Anyone know of another dropper brand that is setup similar to Fox?

Looks like i'm gonna Frankenstein some sort of dropper lever from an old shift cable, and a mechanical brake lever... This should be fun!  Grin
