Having used the manual rotator and no chute control last year I decided motorisation was required.

Mounting a window lift motor for rotation and a 4-inch actuator for the chute I looked at how I was going to control these and the location.

As everyone is well aware space is at a premium so along with ergonomics I decided a one position control was best for me. Having used the dash location for light switches and not wanting to have to fumble with gloves on I looked for alternative positions. The obvious one was the hydraulic control stalk.

I have connected the joystick via 4 switching relays and used a section of ABS pipe as the mount.

Position and operator comfort work well.

Sorry failed again at the rotation of the pictures, they are OK on my computer.

Nicely done! Are you one of those guys that can do the wiring in your head or do you have to draw a diagram like me? That***8217;s a lot of wiring!
