I didnt want to cut my body so removed the lever (which can be done from above by removing 3 bolts) I then cut the lever in the middle of the swan neck, rotated it about 2-3mm and welded it back togeather. Clears fine now and I know I still have a seal to prevent water coming in through gaiter/body and I havent invited rust to fresh cut metal ;)

Well done mate - no point buying a nice looking one to take it off road as you'll just wince everytime you scratch it!

Come on then, where's the piccies???

sounds like a good way of doing it. How do you get at these 3 bolts?

Is it just a case of lifting the carpet (somehow) and I will be able to get at the 3 bolts?

Been having a look tonight, and im now at this point:



If I undo these 3 bolts, will the lever just pull out of the transfer box?

I can select 4L with the gaitor removed and it stays selected but the lever is right up against the opening in the floor.

Here are a couple of pics aswell :
