Hi All,

Im doing a Sierra transfercase conversion in my 2008 manual vvt Jimny.

I've nearly got everything ready to go:

Brand new(!!!!) sierra transfer case with 4.9 rockhopper gears
Non-VVT gearbox (so I can do more than 80kmph on motorway)
I also have the correct size drive shafts etc.

What Im missing, only thing im missing, is the transfer case bracket kit. Originally I was going to buy one from ORA, but they no longer make them.

Does anyone have one spare, preferably new and would like to ship to Australia? Or at least have some pictures so I can see about getting one made up?

Getting kinda desperate here...

The Ram Auto Design Rock Bucket mounting system is the only Rocklobster mounting solution I would use!

It comes with a speedo pick up ring suitable for the gearing too if you get the whole kit. I'm sure there's an email address on their website and you can trust Richard, otherwise known as Rockwatt.

I dumped my Jimny's transfer box, in its Rockbucket on fallen tree trunk 2 days ago and the Jimny didn't even care! Not a sign of any damage.

Slightly different subject ;)
Couldn't help noticing you said you had fitted a non VVT gearbox?
I would be interested to know if you had any problems fitting it and did you have to modify the gearchange mechanism or cut the car??
Do you know if the prop is longer/shorter to do the swap using the original transfer box??
I only ask as this might be a much cheaper solution to the fragile VVT box and I'm sure others would be interested also as the VVT gearbox problems come up fairly regularly.
thanks

I started off high and worked my way down ever since :-)
