Default HSW WOT switch with my kit

I installed my HSW Plate kit on my 02 SS and everything worked out fairly good but I cannot figure out how to mount that WOT microswitch . The instructions don't help much. Anybody got a pic or could you explain how to mount that thing and where. I had a strut brace and of course it is right in the way so the solonoid mounting took a little extra time but I took my time and it all looks good and kept the brace on the car.
How much are yall paying for N2o out there. I paid 4.75 a lb === 47.50 to fill my 10lb bottle.
I am thinking about getting a Hurst Line lock switch and put it on my shifter and just push that button when I want to spray. What do yall think???

Thanks

Use the WOT switch. That push button stuff gets to be a pain in the ***. An easy way to mount it is under the gas pedal.

Be sure to post some pics up when you're done.

Under the pedal is the best spot, imo. there used to be pictures of each car make in the wiring sticky. Don't know if they are still there though.

IDk if its the same bracket as the cheap universal bracket that harris sells, But I just installed mine. I used the 2 bolts(had to get longer ones of coarse) and used a few washers to shim itout(About 1/2 inch) Then mounted the Micro switch to it. Looks pretty good and works damn good

For an F-body...
Bend the base of the bracket (the side the switch mounts to) 90*. There is a 12mm bolt to the right side of the pedal. Cut off the excess material on the bracket and mount it up. Make sure you have the arm of the switch set to trigger when the pedal is fully actuated.

Cut the rubber piece? Is there some trick to getting that piece out or do I have to cut it in the car?

No. You'll have to cut down the WOT bracket--metal. The best suggestion I can give is for you to setup the switch on the bracket and use your imagination down by the gas pedal.

That's just plain robbery!

As for the original question, try pages 13 and 14 of this pdf. This should help.

I rigged up mine by bending the metal piece supplied with the kit and bolting it with one of the bolts behind the pedal.

After that PITA I found out the window switch would activate the nitrous through the TPS..Get a window switch its worth it!

Well all I have right now is an MSD. Eventually I'll just get a microedge but I want to try and get to the track a few times this year before it closes for the winter.
