Default k-member, raptor shift light, and catch can came in

Most of the parts i ordered came in this week. i plan on installing the che k-member brace w torque limiters first. Any tips form those of you that have installed one would be welcome.

Also i am thinking about where exactly to mount my shift light. I don't want it out in the open where i have to look at it and it looks tacked on. I know i can put it in the vent with my boost gauge. I am thinking from looking at how small it is that it might fit inside the overhead console with the map lights. i could maybe pull that annoying airbag lite that drive me crazy when my son rides in the front and put the light in there. What do you guys think? any reason that wont work? i need to poke around and see if i can find pics of what that overhead console looks like underneath.

Edit: now that i think about it i coudl use the power and ground inside that map light cover for the shift light could i not? I know some of ht eguys used those switched power and ground for homelink installs. that way i woudl only need to run the twi wires that go to actualyl sense revs.

The shift needs tobe where you will see it. A place where you do not have to look for it and it is automatically in your field of view. Mine is mounted on the pillar and it's not close enough for me to watch the track and the light and shift all at the same time. Just think about the location. I would choose somewhere between the shifter and the steering wheel.

I like the idea of putting it in the vent.

I found it easier to connect all three wires under hood IAW with the instructions.

The K-member brace is a simple install. The instructions are clear but, you WILL need a torque wrench.
