Since a jeep driver not to be named bailed at 6AM I did not get to try out my new tires. So I did the next best thing, bought a new angle grinder and started on my cutting brake setup.
Honestly, this turned out like a hack job. I'll be able to clean it up the frame assembly when I do final welding and paint but I am glad this will be buried in the console!
Step 1 was figure out how to change the lever mechanism to have the cylinder in back and push the levers forward. My mockup was like this:
This was one of those project though where I was making it up as I go along. Trying to figure out how to set up the frame and angle of handles and such. I took out the console and did a bunch of testing and I decided to use the offset handles and set then at about an 80deg forward slope. This will set the knobs pretty much in line with the top of the console and I can still easily reach over the levers to shift transmission and the atlas. It will still get raised about an inch when I figure out how to mount it to the tub.
