.

Just copy the bracket from one of the kit's.
Very basic flat stock, bent to fit your location,
and drilled the same way you would mount it to a body panel.
You can weld or bolt in and use the small hole in the body to hold the rod steady.

This is one we made up, used an ordinary cutoff switch and fabed the rest ourself, the push pull will go out the center of the bowtie on the berger panel and the bowtie handle is an exact replica of that, when in pushed in it will be power off and on top of the orginal bowtie, just a little something extra we came up with.




Sorry for the bad pics, Ill have more of my build when we get closer to finsihed

That is sweet, nice job.
Mine is very basic, but it takes 3 guys to pull the deck, so I can't get any photo's.

That's exactly what I'm gonna do. I saw it on the SAM car in the newest GM high tech article done on the car. If you paint it the color of the berger panel, you can hardly tell it's there looking from straight back.
