What are the options to have this shifter on the driver's side ( like original one in XJ).
Something like this one -

So far I found this - NorthWest Fabwork

Any other way to have it done?

What are you trying to do? Shifters can be made and cables can be bought from airplane salvage yards. That's what I did. I have a 3 stick 1 for the 231 front half and 2 for my flipped 300. I paid 27.00 dollars for all 3 cables yes all 3. They are stainless with zero fittings at each end and wound with a stainless wire the length of the braided line. I made the housing so it would bolt into the factory location where I made a box with 4 taped corners to accept the shifter mechanism! The shifter box can barely be seen above the cable box in the second pic.

coldoath - correct, overhauled D300 with clocking ring is ready for boarding, but prefer shorter shifters ;)
Boss Cherokee - thx for a tip, just wanted to see what all of u are using in your rigs, that's all.

I have these brand new never used and I don't need them if you are looking to get them a little cheaper let me know.

Are there any more pics of this installed? That looks like a pretty cool idea.

Here you go. I'm not trying to steal the post this might help the po on some questions. The first pic is the 300 ready to go remember the 231 will go in front so you have room for the long throw of the cables set up and the 300 is flipped so everything is above the front drive shaft. The rear set up from NWF are for those running only a Skat or Atlas and the t-case is too close to the front not leaving room for linkage. The 2nd is the shifter assembly using the original mounting flange off the old factory 231 shifter. The 3rd is the t-case shifter box similar to the NWF one offered by them which is grade a quality. I used 3/4 by 1 aluminum stock and welded them in place after I drilled bolted down in place the stock to avoid any heat deflection. The 4th is the case mounted in the XJ with both sight tubes visible. If you notice in pics 1 & 2 the wire wrap on the cable housing. I had heard of guys having trouble with shifter cables not working well. I chose the aircraft type because of no bulging or loading as they slide plus the zerts at each end! The last pic is the 231 shifter. Sorry kind of blurry!

Any pics of the shifter installed. I'm doing the same setup 231/300 doubler flipped and have shifters and cables just trying to get ideas of shifter placement. Just wondering about accessibility not really aesthetics.
