You sir are a genius. I have been looking everywhere for that.

Hmm... Why on earth did Ritters put two sticks in mine???? It's nuts, and none of the instructions on the knobs are correct.

Hi John, Probably done on price. The Proper CDL kits are quite expensive. Used ones are rare, and go quickly .
I've seen some "T bar" Shifter like levers in the past. They look shocking. There was another mob selling and installing modified Wiper motor CDL shifters, they failed when mud and water killed them.
Ashcroft do a CDL kit that looks factory.
Cheers, Mario

That probably explains it, but it looks ridiculous and is clumsy to use. Hmm. Just looked at the Les Richmond one. $950? Think I'll out up with it a bit longer....

Ive got the Ritters one as well and its got two levers. I'm used to it now. The real one is much more expensive

I left mine this way, so when going up a Steep greasy hill you can can use the CDL with traction control.
If i get stuck half way up a hill & need to reverse down, i dont want the ABS to work, its bloody dangerous,it may be good on a road going forward.
but when a wheel starts to slide/skid going backwards in the bush the ABS releases the brake on that wheel,
the very wheel/s stopping you sliding backwards out of control....not a good feeling.

So if im stuck & need to go backwards in a dangerous place, i turn the ignition off then back on with CDL engaged, this disables the ABS & im in control, not the ABS..
Some will not agree, but have found this from experience....
