Am looking for the line lock activation button / switch that was once made / offered by Tom Houser of "Performance Instruments" back in the day.[/size]This activation button / switch is mounted inside the RH shifter handle button giving a stealth installation.I f anyone has one or knows where I can obtain one, please let me know. Pics or any literature / information would be greatly appreciated.I've tried to contact Tom, but without any success.Thanks, :) Dave[/color]

Agreed, but the switch button was located inside the RH button on the shifter handle. It was completely "stealth". Next to impossible to notice it. The wiring was also completely hidden inside the shifter stalk / shaft for an invisible / clean installation. Really don't want the line lock activation switch to be too obvious. You never know who is gonna be looking inside your car (Jonny Law)?
I did get ahold to Tom 2 summers ago and he had some leftover parts kicking around, was gonna build me one. But he's disappeared and can't reach him at any of the numbers I had on hand.
So, was hoping someone may have one of these that they'd be willing to sell.
If not, I'd like to find some pictures and more details on how this was done.

You have a broken handle for a sample IIRC? are both sides symmetrical?

the driverside has the button that extends into the handle , the passenger side is a chrome cap looks like a button and under the cap is a sort of stud which is flush with the end and molded with the handle
to get a switch there would require drilling off the stud portion to set a switch into it
