That looks great. Similar to what I want to do to mine though I was considering fabricating one from scratch.
Not sure why it won't pass a roadworthy though :confused:

Yeah that would also be a good option, I guess you could do something at the laser cutters but that involves extensive CAD work. If I had a mill, the job would have looked even neater. The Ashcroft one is the same, although a gap is milled into the shaft and the lever placed through the shaft which allows for sideways movement of the lever. I probably could have done this without a mill, by drilling a series of holes and neatening it up with a file, but it seamed much easier just to place something around the shaft that allowed the sideways movement of the lever.Quote:

and to get the dash light working
looks grate
Looks good Hendrik.
What cable did you use?
I still have my original lever as I dont like the D1 type conversion.
Too much slop.
That's a bit harsh ;)Quote:

..what causes the CDL light to come on...is it the switch in the transfer case output housing - is it just connecting it up to the existing loom.Quote:

Well the job is done, and words cannot describe how happy I am with the job. It works flawlessly, so happy :D
I snipped the blue and grey wire in the SLABS ecu a while ago and wired in a switch as well. So I can partially disable the ABS/TC/HDC whenever I want. I find this especially handy in sand, as I find the TC way too sensitive. It certianly gives the shuttle valves a good workout thats for sure.

Rudolf, I used a cable that I had laying in the shed, which to be used as a hand throttle cable on a tractor.
I have mill and lathe access :D:DQuote:

Now you tell me...LOL
you can use a D1 or D2 auto shifter cable, I think that would work well too.
