After searching and asking and not really getting anywhere I decided to go my own way and set up the twin stick how I thought it would work.......and it did :)

All i did was gring down 2 shifters so they were flat on each side, tac weld the 2 together and drill the hole in them for the pivot and build a mount to suit, grint the 2 apart and its done :cool: . Now i have to strip the tcase to try and fint the interlock between the 2 selector shafts and make up a boot to keep the dirt out and the oil in.

Looks good

How do you seal it?

this way sounds similar to a design that way explained to me but the difference is they used the original base and cut two sticks (ball of stick)
in half and then placed a dowl between the two halfs and used the original base and seal.

Thanks Chad

I looked into that way for a long time trying to work it out because i know thats what they do to zuks, but to do it that way i would have to grind off half the selector below the ball and also half the handle making the whole set up weaker than what i have now + that set up dosent really seal that well any way, just my thoughts

I will use one of thoses thick red rubber chemical gloves (2 fingers and part of the palm) to make up a twin stick boot.

Too easy the strenght issue in cutting them in half is a worry, yours looks stronger.

Hope your going to replace the drill bit with a bolt :lol:

Thinking ouside the square love the glove idea :armsup:

I think I will spend the cash and get a twin stick from marlin

There is one better than the marlin. If u have a forward shift tcase all u need is the selector shaft, base and stick from a topshift tcase and use the space provided.
