As noted you will need to count clicks for the shift to second gear or memorize the bar end shifter lever position. Not idiot proof but it can work well.

If you read the procedure for adjusting a SA 3 speed hub shifter cable and still cannot understand tcs post then doing your wanted build is not recommended.

+1 on this! I broke the shifting pin inside a Sachs hub by screwing up with a grip shifter. And try finding a replacement pin!!!!!! Tried fabricating one out of a motor indexing key but couldn't get the profile right and finding a 2mm threaded tap -
If you have a spare hub in reserve to cannabalize for parts, then maybe.
P.S. I'm working on my shifter real soon!
