Default Micro switch question

I ordered a NOS wet shot kit a while back.. Only part I don't get is where does the microswitch get mounted? anyone have this kit? I'm assuming under the gas pedal but its my first time dealing with nitrous so idk.. any answers are appreciated. and is the micro switch like push button? so when the pedal is to the floor, it hits it and activates the solenoids as long as the arming switch is on? (Sorry for the dumb question lol)

Have you tried calling whoever manufactured the kit?

Bend bracket so microswitch is activated by backside of gas pedal at wide open throttle. Then as long as your wide open throttle youhave a power or ground signal to the solenoids relay.

Microswitches are mostly intended for cars with a cable throttle that can push the switch at WOT mounted by the tb in my experience. Putting it under the pedal is a good solution since we have drive by wire
