Re: relocating pushbutton actuator

I have my parts tranny in the rear of the garage and an extra PB actuator so I am working on it. I don't believe it would interfere with the pressure control switch. If so the elbow could be tightened to put the switch on a 45 degree angle rather than straight up (which a SC advised). I think a seal could be found to be a tight fit on the aux. shaft. I thought about fashioning a shield to bolt to the plate that could serve as a heat shield as well as a splash shield. But I'm getting ahead of myself. This will be an evening project as I get thrown out of my friends garage at 5:30 every afternoon.
It will interfere with my train projects, but they will have to wait same as they did in '92.
If you manually put the trans in "PARK" and then push "P" the actuator should be very close in sync with the tranny and not need much at the turnbuckle.
Keith, are you saying to leave the adjustment bracket on the unit and bolt it to the plate along with one muffler clamp?
I think the two muffler clamps are a sturdier design as that bracket wasn't designed to support anything. If you want to use the threaded hole where the bracket went, then you have to put the bolt in from behind the plate and that doesn't seem mechanic-friendly. What is a "heim" joint?
I'll double check the location of the pressure switch tonight.
And Mr PB, you should be ashamed! Lionel indeed! Everyone should recognize IVES orange
Thank all of you for your comments.
