Default Microswitch mounting: LT1, 58mm TB

I have a 58 MM TB on my LT1 and was wondering if anyone on here has mounted a microswitch on it? I ordered a Nitrous OUtlet switch bracket awhile back but it didn't work with the Holley.

Just wondering if anyone has one mounted on a Holley 58 MM and has pics of it.

Thanks guys.

No. I tried to modify it and it still didn't work. The real problem lies in the throttle lever on the Holley. It is designed different than the other TB's and there isn't really anything that can activate the WOT switch. I got a universal switch and bracket from Nitrous Outlet and I am going to see what I can fab up.

Side Note: Just another idea of the great Customer Service at Nitrous Outlet. I ordered the bracket, modified it (grinder), and after it still didn't fit they still took it back and refunded me my money!

Thought about it. Wouldn't be too "cost efficient" there.

FYI, I know where you live!

I'll never bother with a microswitch again. The TPS switch I ran on my LT1 was flawless and much cleaner/easier to hide.
