twin stick cover solved!

Post by vin »

i have been searching, like probably all of you and nothing nice is available. i came up with this cheap solution that i think looks pretty darn good. really stole the idea from older car parking brake/ automatic gear shifts:

i purchased this conveyor brush strip, for under $10 shipped

i just measured, bent and used a couple stainless screws in each corner to secure it.

I know nothing about 4wd sweptlines, but was into rock crawling for a few years.

Anything on these pages look like it would work?

I don't think so because the pivot point on these levers are all the way down by the side of the trans. So it would need to actually move several inches at the base of the boot. Then the second lever would have to travel past even where the boot of the first was.

That looks great! Where did you get your main stick boot? That looks great as well.

yup, they are pretty much all knock offs of the Hurst superboot. mine was $15 from amazon:
