I am attempting to make my own switch plate to fit in my ashtray. I will currently only be using the activation switch, but figured I can install a remote open switch and a purge button. Question 1: the activation switch that came with my NOS 5177 was a 16amp 12volt switch. Any problem using a 20 amp 12 volt switch? What purge button do I want, the 4AN or 6AN for this kit? I may not buy the purge right now and want to run the wires however.
Lastly, do I need to remove my MAF ends and go back to the stock unit with the screen in?
Thanks all,
Tuc

 

i'm using a NX switch panel that a modded to fit in my ashtray. Here's a pic.

Thanks,
Did you have to cut out the area to make it fit?

 

As far as purge,most entry level systems come with -4an for lines,so get the -4 purge kit.
Direct ports and the bigger race systems have the -6 line.

 

I didn't. I'm not sure about your '99 but on my '01 right in front of the shifter there's a little "cubbyhole" about the right size for a pack of cigarettes. The little "comprtment" will pop out leaving a open hole and that's where the NX switch panel fits into it.

 

I made my own. In there I have the Activation, Bottle heater, Remote opener, Purge and now a line lock switch but I haven't uploaded a pic of that config. to my webste yet.
