Hi Andrew,

Did you make the socket mount box in front of the gear and transfer case lever's yourself or purchase somewhere?

Excellent! Thank you. This surface mount appears to be a good choice if I do not want to alter the panel.

It appears that I can just wire it directly with a 12 AWG wire into the Deutsch DTP connector. Do you happen to know if that’s correct? Not sure if I need some sort of converter or fuse in between the two…

I will see if my son can send to me, but I have to be honest that he was going to come back and tidy it up, but he got busy with university and it really needs a 3D scanner to get it right. It works but it isn’t a perfect fit and needs a better retention system.
