Good point
Maybe I will stick to 2 door kit

thanx for that the kit price is on sale at 165 for 2 door or 195 for 4 door. might be better off getting the 4 door kit and having spares. If you want factory power windows you'd need the mechanicals/regulators out of an MY touring wagon or Leone sedan. Along with all the wiring, switches and center...

No worries on helping you out Peter

I actually just emailed Ken to see if you got away.

RSR 555 wrote:Any luck with the number?

Paul
From past experience these numbers can be hard to decipher.
Just ask me
Look at the dramas I have had finding an AWD box
Thanx to you and Niterida my problem will be solved shortly

When he says Paul coming up to go fishing is that you

RSR 555 wrote:Ok.

Nod from Ken or the boss?

I spoke to Ken (niterida) and apparently you and him are in conversation, so I'm sure Ken will help you out and if you need me to send it your way, just let me know

Bennie you were right I had a screw fall out from the bottom of the shroud and hit me in the ankle I thought where did that come from. Then noticed the indicator stalk was even worse. Pulled it apart last night and sure enough there are 2 screws from the bottom up near the steering wheel that screw ...

Phil
can I ask if the MY has the little brass/spring arm that contacts slip ring on back of steering wheel to make the horn work. It has contact on the end of nit like a set of points.
2 screws and cut the earth wire off.

You da man Paul I have had same result everywhere dual range ...dual range....dual range Turns out the 3.7 box was a Dual Range box :( I'm still waiting this other guy to get back to me, I have called him 3 times now and getting a little pissed off. Sorry Peter but I'm on the case and will not let i...

Any news Paul

Paul YOUR BACK thats a start I will have to change out rear diff as well if that's the road to take..huh You got a 3.7 Only prob is it works out expensive buying both components. Might be better off just surrendering and paying a wrecker. Ok Peter. I found one but it's 3.7 ratio. Which would work be...

I'm expecting an email very shortly regarding the box

Tempted Suba but really want to stay with single range unless I have NO optionsThanx though man
Paul will LMK and then I will get serious as its driving me mad

Bennie
I will check it out.

Cheers

Bennie

and my indicator stalk
