I can't find the wiring post for a megashifter!

A couple of weeks ago there was a post somebody put on here about wiring a mega shifter. He used the bench grinder to cut down the terminals so they just plugged in. I am trying to do as little damage as possible so does anybody have the pic or can you find the post. I think the search engine on here hates me!!

I am either going to do this or use the knife connectors to just splice in with minimal damage.

I have done almost everything but I still have to hook up the wiring so I can see how good my adjustments are. I was hitting frusteration last night so I stopped and I am going to finish it tonight now that I have a clear head HAHA!

I was all over town today and nobody has the relay for the shifter. This has been an uphill battle the whole way!! I am hitting frusteration mode! I guess I am going to have to rig up 2 relays to do the job. Well time for some creative wiring.

No Radio Shacks there? That sucks. I ground some spade terminals, too, so I could just plug it into the stock connector in case I ever wanted to go back to stock.

There are people at Radio Shack?!

Hey big perm... I mean big worm: you need the diagram itself, too? I can email you one I have scanned from a post a long time ago.

I got it all under control now!!! No I checked at the three radio shacks in town and they didn't have it. I asked if they could order me one and they said no. They told me that it was a regular stocked item and it came in at predetermined times. I then asked when he would be getting some and he said he didn't know!! This was the point I felt like shoving my foot up his a$$!! Well in frustration I told him he was usless because I had even checked the electronics store I usuallt do business with!

I ended up using knife connecters that clip over the wire so you can plug in a male stake on into it. I then got 2 automotive relays and a double relay plug and wired everthing together in a harness. I plugged it into the car and everything is great.
