Wiring the system up is pretty straightforward, because most of the wires coming out of the switch are already terminated and there is a harness that will plug into the motor. All you need to do is plug the harness into the motor and route the wires out of the way, then cut them to size and crimp on the push together connectors. You will also need to add two spade terminals and hook them to a good ground.Wiring the system up is pretty straightforward, because most of the wires coming out of th The new two-speed intermittent switch fits like a glove into the stock location. PWD also gives you a new chrome nut to hold it in place. The switch is made to use either the factory knob or this one provided in the kit.

This will leave a visible line that you can cut along and then transfer to a piece of sheet metal.We are going to shave the hole completely for a smooth, uncluttered look. The first step i Once we had the filler panel cut we set our Lincoln SP-100 welder to a wire speed of 5.5 and voltage to G. We put a few tacks at the corners and let it cool. Then we came back and tack by tack stitched welded all the way around the filler panel, stopping every fifth tack to let the area cool.Once we had the filler panel cut we set our Lincoln SP-100 welder to a wire speed of 5.5 a A Flap Disc grinding wheel on an electric grinder made quick work of knocking down the welds.A Flap Disc grinding wheel on an electric grinder made quick work of knocking down the wel Now we have a nice base to apply some filler and sand it nice and smooth.
