Cobra..I will post up a pic tomorrow, after i take a pic with my digital camera. You basically have to bend the cr*p out of the bracket to make it fit.

If I remember right, I bolted mine to the front of the throttle body. And he's right, you have to bend the crap out of it for position.

I have that kit on my 97 Trans Am. I used the upper right TB bolt (if you're looking straight towards the motor from under the hood) I had to bend the bracket in 2 places, then had to cut the metal strip that presses the button on the switch.

Thanks for the help so far guys. Installing my headers was easier than mounting this nitrous switch

Hey, I went and put mine INSIDE the car... it looks much neater, I don't want all those damn wires running around... plus the piece looked cheesy, stamped metal. So... I mounted it to the bracket that holds the gas pedal and spring assembly/and cable under the dash. Don't have pics of it, but it works great, and I used the bracket they supplied.

I did the same thing Jethro did. I really wanted to hide or disguise as much as possible. That switch had to go.
