Default Transbrake Button locations

Hey everyone, not sure if this is the place to post this but I'm trying for it anyways.

I'm in the middle of a 4L80e swap and I need a place to put my transbrake button. I have the B&M Stealth Pro ratchet shifter which does not have a button. I'd like to see where others are mounting their buttons, and I'd like to know what buttons everyone is using. Pictires would be awesome!

Mine is mounted on the stock steering wheel. Cheap, simple, and easily accessible.

That's actually a great idea, unfortunately I'm using the 6 speed console and won't be using the metal cover.

Which button are you using, and does the spiral cord get in the way of anything when turning? Does it get hung on the turn signal lever?

The toggle switch in front of the shifter enables the button on the steering wheel which enables the tbrake. The other red button by the shifter was my original tbrake button but found that having it on the wheel is much more comfortable. The spiral cord doesn't get in the way driving on the street although I'm not exactly tokyo drifto'ing the thing around every corner.

Lol! I was just wondering. I'd like to have it on the wheel but I can't decide which button I like.

I'm using my clutch pedal. The neutral safety switch will act as the transbrake button.
