Finally got the CDL lever in the Disco yesterday, all but the actual knob on top.
Based on the design from
discoweb.org
Have attached some pics of my lever, and the U-bracket I made (with diagram I knocked up for anyone else wanting to copy).
Two other useful pics too: the "main" drawing for the concept, and a photo (can't remember where from but not mine) showing the location of the new shaft through the centre console panel.
Before I installed I wrapped the shaft with self amalgamating tape (or "weld tape" I think you Aussies call it), just to give it some added protection and also helps with reducing vibration, and packed the uni-joints with heavy duty mining spec grease.
Works a dream! Hardest part was just removing/replacing the centre console.
Job well done, now I just need to get it out there and test it!
Thanks to
LandyAndy for info early on, and to all those who posted info etc on these pages. It was a massive help...
Cheers,
