40/45 transfer selector plate mods

I remember seeing a thread on here a while ago about modifying the transfer selector plate(the one that stops you from using low-hi 2wd) on a fj40/45. I think twisty may have done this but i cant find it anywhere!

Does anyone have an idea of where i could find it??
