Hi guys. Wondering how to attach my clutch safety switch. I see how it mounts to the pedal bracket. How does it attach to the actual clutch pedal? It was hard to find so I don't want to break it. FYI I looked through the forums and could not find anything.

Iirc, that little hook end snaps into a hole in the pedal arm.

My switch is different. I see the other hole in the clutch pedal. I don’t want to break the switch.

Hopefully you have that nylon stud. They're nearly impossible to find. This is on my 78. You can see I rerouted the wires underneath. These switches are not the most reliable. Sometimes it just won't start and you have to jump it out. Next day it will work just fine. It always reads continuity when fully extended, just sometimes will not start

Thanks for the picture. It is very helpful. I do have the nylon pivot stud.
