Did the kit come with the intermittent swich? I was looking on Newports website and they only showed a 2 speed switch/motor.

I haven't got one mounted on the pickup yet but do on the panel. I got a container out of an older Lincoln and made a bracket to mount on my inner fender and have 2 sprayers I grabbed from a Toyota and have them mounted on the rear section of my hood. I'll see if I have any pics and post them here..

Here is the only pics of where the jug was mounted..



and you can faintly see the location of the 2 sprayers near the back of the hood approximately 10 inches either side of the center rib

I decided to change out the shifter stick for one with a little more height, completed this morning. Here's pics before and after. Original one was a 16 inch I bought thinking I was going to put in a center console by changed my mind. The new one is a 23 inch double bend . It was just the stick that was replaced..
