The Ever Elusive Cable QT Conversion!!!

[MtnNate]

I have searched and searched. I saw some photos of Porkchop's old QT with the cable conversion.
I have one question?

Do you have to cut the little diaphram off and then weld a peice of metal to the rod???

I tried this without cutting any thing and making a home fab connection to the vac hose connectors on the outside diaphram. I couldn't get it to shift into E-lock.
HELP!!!
:rolleyes:

When i get it all figured out I will post the whole thing under the tech section on the IFSJA site!!!!

yes you do, cut off the metal housing with the diaphragm leaving the rod intact, then weld some all-thread or bolt,to the end of the actuator rod. I beleive PC has a write up on his web page. FYI, I am currently in possesion of the xfr case with the "Porkchop cable actuator", it is waiting for insertion into my vehicle. Very nifty piece of work.
