    Centre diff lock in the lt95?

    You can make it mechanical. Make a lever with a bit of channel and attach the actuator arm

    No worries - I can take a photo of mine when the sun comes up.

    There are a few threads floating about with people who have fitted 3rd party vacuum actuators. Seemed like too much faff for the value, but each to their own.

    I'll have a peek in my (very) old box of bits I've had sitting for the past 20 years.
    I know I had one, still in the box too.
    I'll try to get to it tomorrow and reply back if it's still there(or been disposed of).

    Unfortunately it wasn't.
    I vividly remember the box in came in, and why I replaced mine(not knowing exactly why it wouldn't worked).
    Mine originally wouldn't lift up, in my '79RRC. I got the replacement and removed the old one, replaced it with the new one.
    The only problem with the old one was that the flat guide that the lift switch slides on had been bent at 90° on the underside.
    Needed to remove it to see that.
    I straightened the guide slider thingie(made of copper or brass or something), and switch worked perfectly. ie. new switch wasn't needed!.

    Found lots of other RRC goodies in the storage box tho.
    Old and new thermostats, some weird electrical box with leads(can't remember what that was for tho), power steering reservoir filter, old original alternator, and an ICE(or possibly Ignition Developments) Bosch dizzy for a 3.5.
    But not the diff lock switch.

    sorry.
    Arthur.

    Here you go - lever is actually a threaded tube that's been bent accordingly.

    I noticed a couple of new MaxiDrive replacements at KLR last week.
