Ebay # 230599576460 Really the hardest part is just diving in and tearing apart a perfectly good 60$ shifter, at least it was for me. Here is a ebay auction number to a switch that looks like the ones I used, You need the switch to be prewired like this cause there is no room inside the shifter to be making connections. At least you know that it can be done cause I did it. Oh figuring out how to do it is the fun part. I know that I made this sound difficult but I really did not use any special tools, when I say mill out the aluminum I just used a drill bit and a drill press so if you have access to a mill it will be even easier. One thing to watch out for is that they make the switch I was trying to explain where the toggle part will spin freely but they also make some that wont spin, you want the one that is solid so that after you glue the tab on it wont rattle or spin on you. I cut off the eaton switch ends off and simply epoxied them on to the new elect. If you are just wanting the one switch then is should be a lot easier and even though this took me 2 days to make work it was well worth the effort as the finished product is awesome. I then just started taking the eaton fuller shift knob apart and milling out the aluminum where needed and it took some work to do this and figure out how to run the wires etc. I used the smallest switch I could get from my local auto parts store, it had wires already run to the switch and was nice and shallow. I used a 13 speed so that I could run my gear splitter using the front range selector switch and the red thumb switch for the exhaust brake. Unfortunately, I never got around to doing this myself so I really can't personally be of too much help. The following are responses that he had emailed me to fairly general questions that I had asked him in regard to how he accomplished this feat. I had had some interest in doing this myself and had talked briefly with 'MONEY PIT' on here about how to go about doing it.
