Two speed rear end switch clamp

I am going to put a two speed rear end switch on my truck to run the jake brake. What kind of clamp do I need to use to mount it to the stick and where can I get it. Pics of other rigs would be nice. Thanks.

You might want to try junk yards that have the bigger trucks, and see if they'd happen to have one from a 2 speed axle equipped truck.

I looked when I put mine in, but couldn't find any, new or used. I ended up making my own bracket out of a chunk of aluminum, at a machine shop where I once worked.

I see that Geno's Garage has a replacement E-**** gearshift **** with a micro switch built in it to run an E-brake for $49.

I got a 2 piece split lock ring, welded a little tab to it with a hole in it. Put a generic push pull cheap switch in it. And had my own shifter mounted switch for ~$10.

if you are looking still the pac brake uses a Cummins piece. Look online and you should be able to find the part number. I bet it is a little pricey.

Our bobtail at work just uses a hose clamp...not the greatest looking, but it works. Either that, or use an Eaton Fuller shifter that screws onto the stick. the threads don't match, I drilled thru the guts to make mine work (dont have an exhaust brake), but I'm sure it could be done.
