Default Installing Electric Cutout

I just had a SS cutout welded on the car and I'm ready to install the QTP electric cutout. Any suggestions for the install? What is the best way to go from the cutout to getting the switch inside the car and where to mount it?

I was asking where the cutout was on his car.

And I think I *might* know where a cutout can be installed on a car.

How hard is it to mount the electric cutout to the regular cutout?

I installed it right in the hump under the passenger side. So just go through a drainplug and under the carpet? What's the easiest way to approach getting it under the carpet to the ashtray without having to remove a lot of stuff?

You can loosen your centerconsole a little bit, and slide the I-wire through and snake it up into your ashtray.

I can see how you took my post the way you did, I probably look like a noob with less than 100 posts.
And I must agree, there are tons of threads on this subject.

That's how I routed my cutout, through that rubber plug.
Two bolts will get your backseat out (takes 5 minutes) and pull up the carpet to access that little black plug.
Then straighten a metal coat hanger and snake that through the console, under the carpet and into the backseat to get the wire there.
Tape the I-wire to that and pull it through to the console.

My cutout switch is located next to my power seat controls, but I used the same process.
