NOS WOT Switch install question

Where in the world have you guys installed your WOT switch? I gave it a quick look today when I had the throttle-body off the intake manifold, and I didn't see an easy way to mount it.

A picture would be great!

It was dark in the garage so this is the best I can do.

Is that a custom bracket?

that braket comes with the kit.

I'm wondering how I'm going to re-install my WOT switch since that bolt hole that sprint's pic has the bracket mounted to doesn't exist on my MEVI.

If you have the stock intake, mount it just like sprint did. Take the bolt out, slide the bracket from the kit in, adjust as necessary. I had to bend mine a little bit (kinda like a slight bend in the middle which forms a "lazy Z") to make it fit correctly. You will also probably have to cut off a little excess which will stick out of the back of the bracket. Not that hard at all, just bend it a little and check it until you get it right. Remember, it has to make contact at WOT and not before. If it touches before, you will basically make a "stopper" for the linkage and your car won't get to WOT at all.

Yes, just saying that is the best place on a stock TB/manifold.

I feel your pain, that's why I mentioned it. You are not the only one that did that I'm sure. When I installed my first system (dry), I had to do a little head scratching until I figured out to bend the bracket that came with the kit.
