Possibly a Nissan Patrol for a Daihatsu Fourtrak as a first guess, but I don't really know.

I have seen one before but I don't think we ever worked out what it was out of?

I'd like to be of some help, really i would. It looks very similar to approx 25kg of scrap to me though.

its got same ratio as 413 box & the mounts look in same place as a sj box the selector works like a jimny box

if i can't work out what its for it will end up being 25kg of scrap

The only thing I can think of is the dutton commander transfer box, I know they used to remove the standard one and fit their own when they did the amphibious conversion, having never seen a dutton transfer box i wouldn't be able to say if it was one or not, but I always assumed the dutton had the pto for the boats prop shaft.

As far as I'm aware dutton just take a stock Sj tbox and add the PTO output for the rear propellor

suzuki used to make tbox's with a PTO already fitted as well.

I've done a lap of google images of transfer boxes. No luck.

Then tried "transfer box 3 bolt gaiter" as I guessed that couldn't be too common and I might spot an aftermarket one but no joy there either!
