Careful. You'll be wanting one.Quote:

Better still the look when your truck is battlefield stripped, you're wearing flying goggles and towing a trailer.Quote:

When the windscreen and door frames go back I found it difficult to get it all aligned together and took a bit of doing. It is a shame that when the 101 was designed that they did not put more thought into the dissambly/assembly process rather that just using nuts and bolts.
Do the full strip down once to satisfy yourself but other than door tops and sides you probably won't do it again.
Yes I know - party pooper :(

Now that is a must! Laughin my butt off here! Work have already decided that we are going to this years Xmas gig in mine with the canvas removed and doors gone... Might just have to suggest the goggles bit!! :DQuote:

Well - I do!:D
So, here it is, Gav's alternate knob replacement for the 101 levers....

Yep, Snooker balls...:D. Under $30 delivered. I have used the brass inserts out of the original stuffed knobs that were cracked and falling apart, and it didn't take much to get them out. Then I simply glued the inserts into some holes drilled in each ball. I've even used the black ball on the gear shifter. The OD knob is drilled and tapped as it is a different thread, and I had no insert for this.
Before anyone says it - they will be engraved next week with the writing - I have found a trophy place that can laser the writing on and fill it in white, so they should look pretty good.:)
And I didn't have to wait months for the 101 club to supply them. Not that they will care, but I would have been happier to spend my money with them than a Chinese ebay store, but hey, I tried.
Also, like Garry mentioned, the bigger knob makes the overdrive easier to use. Turns out big knobs are better than small knobs...:D
Looks great.
LMAO love it:D
