Nitrous project lots and lots of pic

as some of you know my friend and I have been working on a nitrous project for the last couple of months and although not complete(no project on a car ever is) it is pretty close. some saw the nitrous setup up close at the rally.Im adding some pictures to show the new additions to the previous nitrous set up. you can use the link above to go back and see the original setup.
the problem with the old set up was it was rushed to make the deadline for the rally so it needed to be modified, one of my requirement for the new set up was to wire everything so later it could be removed without leaving a trace that it ever existed. so no factory wires were spliced into and no factory harness was disturbed. everything is 100% reversable for you purists.
the old set up lacked an automatic bottle opener, which could be a problem if you are driving and need to open the bottle, because Torrie just accused you of not making enough power:biggrin so we added a bottle opener.
the second thing was when you open the bottle for the first time there may be trapped air in the line and once the nitrous is activated it takes a few seconds for it to reach the nozzle, you can see why this could be a big problem:lol. so we added a purge system to allow the line to fill up with nitrous before it is activated.
those were the major changes to the set up but they complicated the whole build as we had to fabricated more wiring harnesses and get switches to activate the different systems. so here are some pictures.
I started to think about the switch placement for the opener and the purge and decided that shadowmans(kip ewing's) cubby was a good place to get started( I wanted one of those anyway the switches was just an excuse to get it):biggrin
so I got the cubby and I placed the two switches in the cubby, these pitures show the templated I made to place the switches. then I had to make harnessed for the switches, so that once they are in the cubby the harness can be seperated as to allow the center consule to be removed.
