Where to put a line lock switch? - Page 3

TheJeanyus · 03-09-2007, 05:12 PM

Ok, I'm finally thinking about getting this line lock put in.

I'm going to go with a fog light switch like this one.

Anyone know a better place to get it than 50resto? They want like $50 for this friggin' thing.

Some cheap (under $10) switches at auto-parts stores. Pretty good variety too.

Or you could go with the big NOPI-style "NAWS" switch.

That would work as long as I could find a nice one. My interior is in pretty good shape, and I'm kinda picky.

I doubt they have anything the right size and shape to fit the opening in my console, but if they did that would work. Matt is supposed to be checking on the Ford part for me tomorrow at work, so I might ask him if he can round anything up.

I'll save that for when I hook up my NAWS.

I think I'm gonna get two of the big ones!

My car had some kind of pot for an amp in my console so I bought a small flip switch from autozone and put mine there. Its smaller than a dime and looks pretty good imo. Have fun doing the line lock

I went ahead and changed my brake fluid while I was at it.

I want to use the fog lamp switch so it looks as OEM as possible. I'm going to try to figure out a way to take off the fog lamp logo (the white writing) without messing up the switch, then wire it up so the little orange light comes on when you activate the line lock. It'll look like a factory installed line lock when I'm done.

I can't remember who did Ken's setup on his cobra, but he had it wired so when he hit the brakes, he then mashed one of his cruise control buttons and it engaged the line lock for as long as he held the button down... might have been speedsouth.. he did a lot of stuff there.
