Default Steering wheel buttons
Can you post pics of your steering wheel if you have buttons on it for nitrous or trans brake?

I'm using this steering wheel now (the wheel is in the car...but not yet finished) with the release and hub...the buttons came wired in parallel...just cliped them and we are adding coil wire. I did have one of the red buttons come unscrewed from the assembly...i will add dab of locktite.

If I was adding buttons to a stock wheel, i'd try to find switches like what Racing Electronics uses to key their radio. They are nice switches. I think this is a photo of the switch with the band to go around the steering wheel grip. These are expensive and I don't have any first hand experience using them for Trans Brake or Line Lock.
