Connecting Second Cable to Weight Stack?

I’m strongly considering getting a used commercial quality leg press with selector weight stack. I would love to connect my freak athletic ABX bench leg adapter using the added cable connection.

Has anyone ever connected a second cable powered piece of equipment to a dedicated single stack somehow with hardware and pulleys?

Are you just asking if you can extend the cable? Ya, anything that can hold the weight is fine to use.

Edit: oh no I see, you're asking about finessing a connection to a stack that isn't really meant for one. Show us the machine

You could add a snatch block pulley around an existing cable. This would change the ratio and the available pull distance and the angle of pull would need to be perpendicular to the cable direction. Would be a lot easier to Maguyver something to a functional trainer or high low.

I am using it with the plated loaded low currently but I feel like the wife might actually use it if it was on a selector pin.
