hey Chris

i want to get rid of the ugly bonnet up switch

the idea that i got was, a mecury switch mounted to the bonnet possible hidden out of sight in the reo, instead of a pin switch

ok. thats doable - suggestion would be to mount it so it trips JUST as you pop the hood. thats the tricky part. a meter will help here. last one I did was on a 80's 911. that was mounted on a hinge when I did it.

thanks chris sounds easy enough,

i assume the mecury switch negative is gounded to the body and the postive from the old pin switch wire?
