Just wondering if anyone has done a mechanical conversion on the actuator for the centre diff in the lt95 ?

The vacuum system is perfectly reliable - the only problem is when the rubber in the standard switch gets old and leaks. The best switch to replace it with is the solid brass switch that Mal uses for his Maxi_drive lockers. Available from him or direct from clippard minimatics

...This old 109" SIII Hi-Cap we have here that is fitted with a Perkins 236 has been set up with a mechanical actuator.....most likely because of the
lack of (consistent) vaccuum to drive the switch......
Its been done very simply; the vaccuum diaphragm chamber has been taken off the mounting plate, & a pivot bolt has been added to the shaft..
Another pivot bolt has been added above it & a lever links the two & rises
up under the seat box.....so the whole thing resembles the yellow knob relay on a series gearbox really, except it works forwards/backwards rather than up/down.
To actually operate it, a Series yellow-knob rod has been then stuck out forwards through the front of the seat box by the handbrake lever....you pull it forwards to engage...& in the 'off' position, the knob is unobtrusive.
I like it; its 100% positive action, in & out, & in place of the warning light, you have this yellow thing sticking out in the cab....& since the old truck still has u/j front halfshafts, the steering wheel twitches with any windup..
I always fancied having the 101"s difflock operated by an Eaton shifter knob on main gear lever (with the button on the side for the two-speed diff
shift)......but may try doing it on this R-B Dodge instead.....(one day when everything else stops falling apart first....
