Hand controlls For CJ2A

I have never thought inside the box so I suppose that is why I got things done that others couldn't figure out. A real cruise control in a 3B? It is sort of hooked up backwards but it works fine. Towing my Jeep using the existing rear lights? Sure.

I had an uncle injured on iwo jima and a paraplegic. He invented and sold a handicapped driving system after the war. I remember seeing the brochure but never thought about the mechanics. One was for manual and also one for the automatic which was better.

I was small so don't remember much about it.   But it was done with 50's technology.   will ask my older brother if he remembers anything. But on road driving would be different that off road, on second thought, I don't think that would have stopped my uncle.
-----------------
talked to brother, not for manual but set up on an olds hyra boost. lever clamped to steering column, down ran the brake, up ran the gas pedal.   but some how could be adjusted for regular operation.

so on the down side of a single lever could you first disengage a hydraulic clutch and further down engage the brakes. or maybe brake and clutch at same time? still a single lever operation?

Here is my circuit for controlling the actuator that will depress the clutch.  It works well on the test bench but the final proof will be once it is installed in the Jeep.  It is shown with the actuator retracted and the clutch engaged. The black block is attached to the actuator. Imagine the point sticking up from the common of the switch as the actual switch actuator with C as the pivot point.  The black block, physically runs from the in to the out limit switch to depress the clutch and back to engage.  The gear leaver switch is a momentary cross over switch.  The purpose of the two diodes is to override the in or out limit switch to get the motor running from the in or out rest positions.  Once the motor takes off and the respective limit switch transfers the diode serves no purpose anymore.  I am now waiting for the Jeep to come back from the guys who are building a new exhaust manifold for it.  The cast iron on the old manifold started to disintegrate.  A new one from USA will cost in excess of R3000 South African rand's.  Ten years ago it would have been R210. Twenty years ago it would have been R150. We are moving back to the dark ages, its taking time but we are getting there.
