I have some brushes for you. Just pay postage or swap something little.
Thanks, good to know. I thought the 12V and correlating higher current would kill the solenoid prematurely.

Andy,
Oz spec was floor shift for the transfercase. Would it be the same as a pto knob? I have had a few early rigs with the pto knob for the transfer floor shift here in the us. I have a knob I got from a tractor supply which looks very similar, its just a little bigger. Your welcome to it if it will work for you! Rig looks amazing mate!

I'm lucky one of my Son's is an Electrician.
He set up lights in the Carcoon for me today. Looks great!
For what it's worth, early Jeeps (CJ2 specifically) had the same style knob but as a push on and later ones (I think from CJ5) had a screw on knob.
so, could you insert a helicoil to make it a thread on?
It's a rubber compound on the CJ2a so I would rather use the later style with a brass insert moulded in and a thin wall thread insert which taps its own thread instead of a helicoil which requires threads to be tapped first - Transfer Case Shift Lever Knob (screw on) Fits 66-71 CJ-5, 6 with single lever transfer case | Kaiser Willys - https://www.kaiserwillys.com/products/transfer-case-shift-lever-knob-screw-on-fits-66-71-cj-5-6-with-single-lever-transfer-case/
The WW2 style threaded knob does not have enough meat I think to tap it to metric, but it's a lot cheaper - Black Transmission Gear Shift Lever Knob (screw on) Fits 41-45 MB, GPW with T-84 Transmission | Kaiser Willys - https://www.kaiserwillys.com/products/black-transmission-gear-shift-lever-knob-screw-on-fits-41-45-mb-gpw-with-t-84-transmission/
Power Wagons and other Dodge based vehicles used similar knobs in WW2 and the market is full of these items. There might even be bakelite ones which are usable and rigid. My early Aussie 40's have good and intact knobs so I haven't had to look at it in detail
