No pics on here to show you,
If you remove the trans tunnel and drivers floor you will see the side of the gearbox and linkage. The pivot bolt screws into the side of the main gearbox and had a hole in which the leaver pivots around a metal pin with plastic inserts. The top is pushed from left to right when you operate the difflock leaver and the arm pivots on the gearbox pivot bolt pin. At the bottom of the arm it attaches to an inverted U link that connects to the difflock operation mechanism which is part of the transfer box above and behind the front output flange.
The difflock leaver is limited and cannot be adjusted if the pivot pin is screwed in too far you will not get the throw required to get the required movement required at the end of the arm. Likewise if the plastic inserts are not fitted the difflock leaver will feel 'sloppy' and it will never give enough movement to correctly actuate the difflock even if the pivot pin is in the right position.
This is from memory, I cannot find a pic at the mo need to go get to Herts pub meet so need to dash off. If you still do not understand I will have to take pic and point it out.
