I've got an 1100 magic wand but need to convert it to a remote change. Anyone care to outline the steps or point me in the direction of a quide/walkthrough or similar?

Regards, Matt.

Is this a Mini K/early Clubman van?

um. not too sure what the mini is as just about every scrap of I.D'able stuff has been removed as its a sprinter. Its my Twini, and has numerous holes in the floor for gearsticks. The 1100 didn't come with the car.

Its a round nose and thats bout all i know. I've asked on here a long time ago if anyone could ID it but to no avail with many clashing opinions. Photobucket isnt working for me so i'll put a pic up at bout 4 SA time when i get home, if that helps

If you can describe how the gear stick currently connects/attaches to the diff housing? that would give us a start as to what you will need to do

I have a set of brand new, never been used Globe mags. (for a Torana )

so the camera wont work. hasnt all arvo. crapface. evil technology :P i'll try agai ntomoro, let it sleep its pms off.lol

i prefer the pudding wand,
doesnt rattle like a bitch like the frakkin remote.

once you have a remote setup correctly (which isn't much effort) they are better than the other two. I have drive a wand and putting one into my Van so I will have experiance...but dont expect it soon but have driven one for two weeks and Loved it. A Rod change I had for two years in my younger days and also had no troubles with that.
Yes I controdict myself here but I know Better than my younger years and remote is beeter in my oppionion
