You also need to bend the gear leaver due to it,s position .... in the samy original position it will be jammed in 4H

I think from what I was told that this is the most difficult part of the lot and they need serious heat to bend ...

Cant wait to get my one fitted as well .....

yes thats right took me a bit of trail & error to get it in the right shape with some oxy/propane

Does anyone know if we can change the Rock Lobster between 2H and 4H same way as in the Jimny T-Case (on the move?)

Yes - you can change between 2h and 4h on the move, but probably best done at relatively low speeds, front wheels straight, and no wheels spinning or slipping. Front hubs locked in of course if you have manual hubs.

Right finally made time to open the box from Richard and remove / inspect the contents.
The lobster box and the mount is an impressive bit of kit, and is now ham write black.

Just a few questions .., it didn't come with mounts... I see mounts have been mentioned.. Is it wise to get new mounts ?
Also I see the speedo drive, and also a splined gear. In the how to section there is an ORA kit that has a black plastic sort of cover ... So I need one if these ??

Do you mean you've opened the box from Richard or Rob?

You need new mounts, the orange nylon bushes with a bolt through the outrigger and the bushes and transfer box mounts. Nothing else will take the abuse for long but these transmit a bit of transmission noise.

You don't need the plastic casing round the speedo drive. The sensor needs to be so close to the drive gear that dirt won't fit or stay between.
