Question HSW 78mm Plate Kit

Guys, I recently bought one of these kits from HSW. I went to install the bastard and the bracket for the extending the throttle cable
mounts doesn't appear to work on the truck. It almost Seems as if I hae the fbody bracket. Has anyone else ran into this problem? Does anyone have a photo of the bracket installed on your truck? Also, where are you guys mounting your microswitch? Post up some pics with an explanation of how you mounted it if you don't mind! Thanks!

Also, does anyone know if it's okay to mount these noids upside down or not? If it matters, the "out" side of the solenoid is on the bottom.

my kit had the same throttle cable bracket. im pretty sure its the f-body bracket. i had an old tb spacer bracket laying around, so i used it instead. it doesnt matter which way you mount the noids. i cant help you on the microswitch, since im using the microedge with the tps sensor.

Thanks. I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't being foolish about the bracket. Kinda silly that HSW sells a model specific truck kit and doesnt provide a bracket to move the throttle cable. Yeah, not a big deal to make a bracket but it would be nice to have known this before finding out during the middle of the install. Other than that, the kit appears to be really nice. As for the microswitch, I think I'm going to mount it like Cody used to have his mounted (in-cab). If anyone else cares to chime in about the solenoids, I'd appreciate it.

I might have that bracket from my kit. I'll look for it tomorrow, if I find it, I'll PM you and sent it your way. As for the solenoids, I don't think it matters how you mount them, just get the flow correct.
