Default WOT switch bracket install help needed!!
I have HSW's sudden impact kit and am having a helluva time trying to figure out how to mount the WOT switch, The directions are fuzzy, and was wondering if anyone had any pictures of the bracket installed to give me some ideas.

Search is down BTW!

Getting the adjustable wot bracket to fit can be tricky sometimes. Thats why when I do a install that is not using our digital window switch with built in TPS.

The one posted is a window/tps switch. TPS = throttle position sensor. TPS replaces the WOT switch. Its basically an electrical/computer version of the WOT switch.

you want a wot switch. You can buy a Jimmy Jams wot switch, custom for LS1's.
Harris Speed Works has them

the window switch has a built in TPS activation switch...it taps into the TPS sensor and activates the kit electranically when you go WOT. There is no need for a mechanical WOT switch when using a TPS activation switch.
