3 step rev limiter switch

Hey guys and gals, where can I purchase a good switch for my msd 3 step rev limiter at? I want the switch that would work nicely for the clutch activation. I know a lot of you use this type of switch where your clutch is. Any help would be appreciate. Thanks,
Vic

You dont need to purchase a switch for your clutch activation. I have the 3step module, and one of them is activated through the stock clutch switch. If you use this switch tho, you will no longer have to hold the clutch down when starting the car.

I simply got a NOS systems micro switch and mounted it underneath my clutch pedal so I wouldn't have to get rid of the factory clutch switch. Also if my memory serves me correctly the factory switch is a ground type switch so if you use a relay you could have the relay send 12v to the three step. This would also enable you to keep the factory clutch switch working. I opted for the micro switch cus it was extremely easy and it cost 7.95.

So, when you mounted the switch under the clutch pedal, did you have to make some kind of bracket or modify it or bolt it straight up.

I picked up the mounting bracket for the NOS switch, it made mounting it simple.

P/N 15640NOS Micro-Switch and Bracket (this is the part number from NOS)
