Hi John,

On my spit6, the builder did a really cool thing and fitted a switch just
under the gear knob on the shifter.  It is a SPST switch with a significant
knob on it.  So while I am driving down the road and have my hand on the
shifter where my first 2 fingers hang beyond the knob, it is a simple flick
to activate the OD.

I have had many comments about 1/ how cool it looks ( Nitrous sort of look
:-) ), 2/ obvious position placment.

On my website I have just doen a quick cross section drawing of my switch to
give you a better idea of what I am trying to explain.  I don't have photos
right now.
