So ANY of the rotary knobs off a Bronco or MachE or Explorer will work?
from my understanding the electronics will work as long as it’s 2022 or newer. But as for will it fit to your specific tub and where the harness connector is in relation to the tub, that may change. I don’t know if you have access to a 3D printer or are planning to order an already printed tub, but you may want to check with the instructions on the tub for which one they used. I customized my CAD file for what I wanted and printed it myself (which I’m happy to share.)

In the attached pictures you’ll see the knob I ordered, and how I designed the tub to hold the knob. I then printed a cover which goes over top of the knob. The knob and the cover are friction fit in my design.

it’s worth noting that I went off spec for the 3D print as I have that skill set. But for those who don’t watch this YouTube video

Yeah I saw the video and found the guy on Etsy that sells the tubs. Just wanted to make sure that it will work on the 2025 and bolt up the same as the shifter assembly. Wanted to verify there wasn’t some obscure design change that wouldn’t allow the knob or tub to work on a brand new model truck. Is your truck a newer one?

Mine is a 2023. His is a 2022. As far as I know, there is no physical changes to mounting points on the truck for the tub because that would effect F150 as well as Lightning and it would be a parts disaster.
as for the mounting points on the knobs changing between the model of knob, that I do not know.

Gotcha. Is the guy on Etsy the only one that makes the tubs or are there other vendors? I think his page says delivery time would be August-September, which seems like a long while

I am not sure. I assume so. I didn’t buy from him since I printed my own. I am happy to supply my 3D file (I don’t have time to try to make money off of it lol) or even print it myself for you but I live in Canada and have no clue what the shipping situation would look like for where you live. I’d probably charge for material used (if an issue happened I’d have to reprint) as well as shipping. Again trying to be helpful but this isn’t a business for me so I’d rather just give you the information unless you’re full on stuck.

Oh I appreciate that bro but it’s all good. I’m in California so it would be a hassle but thanks for the offer.

Where did you find one for $30? I just ordered a new ford escape rotary on eBay for $90.
hat price is long gone. That’s what the first folks paid on eBay, until the masses started ordering. I got mine a
Month ago for $75.00. That looks like a good deal now.

I waited 6 weeks when mine was back ordered last year. Luckily the truck was still drivable.

Do you lose the 30 minute neutral button with this conversion?
