Default Wiper door limit switch location?

Mine was missing courtesy of bubba when I bought the car, along with a lot of other things...Does anyone have a picture of where the thing is SUPPOSED to be?

Page 3 in this link from Willcox will show the switch also.

On the firewall, beneath the bracket. AIM has specific instructions as to how the switch mounts and which way the wiring pigtails have to be positioned. It memory serves, it's short tail toward the firewall, but check that.

That picture, along with the wilcox schematic, is just what I needed. It looks like I actually DO have a switch there ( I wondered what that was), but the wires have been cut and the plunger is missing. I need to find or make something to replace the plunger...if anyone has dimensions I'd be greatful!

Beautiful picture...that's the cleanest engine bay I've ever seen! Looks like it just left the factory!
