I posted this in the C5 tech section, as I have a C5.

But, I thought some of you might like to see this install.

Radio Shack part number 275-0644

SPST momentary on switch.

I pulled the leather off the ****, drilled a 1/2" hole all the way through so I could pull the wire through the ****. I superglued the switch into the hole. I ran the wire between the leather and the plastic ****. I restiched the leather with black thread. I could not find Ebony thread, so it looks a little off, but most would not even notice it. I actually thought about going with a blue or shale colored thread, but just settled on black. The wires run down the shifter underneath the shifter boot, and forward to the arming switch.
