I used a known size drill bit to find the hole size. I tried a micrometer but it doesnt have fractions. Turns out the hole size is 23/64.

So this is the chart inside of my tap and die set. For the stock 23/64 hole, I can use the 7/16"-14 tap.

And as an extra step of insurance, i used tesa tape to secure the connection back to the origional harness in case if it gets pulled on.

I butted the heat shrink tubing all the way to the base.

I had to take it out of the plastic connector because I cut it too short. I did this because I would rather have the length on the other half that i could not manipulate well.

I opened up the plastic connector. I do not like using these type of connectors, but when I do I make sure to do a pulltest, check connection with a multimeter, and use heatshrink afterwards. Preferably I would like to use the ones that have the solder prepackaged inside of it.

For those who dont know or cannot see, the emergency brake switch wiring is in the same harness as the seatbelt switch. In a perfect world I would have taken the carpet out, opened up the harness, and pulled the wire out just like how I did when I installed the 97+ Windshield washer reservoir.

I would us AN fittings on the fill and drain holes to plumb the transfer case into the transmission's cooling loop, similar to this.

In the middle hole, I will install either a flush mount or bubble style sight glass to observe the condition and fluid level of the transfer case.

This is where the speedometer sensor sits. It wasnt exactly centered on the collar, but the teeth do make full contact.

I had two cuts made for the snap rings. He also supplied me with two new snap rings and the speedo gear collar. Dude's name is Shawn. He is very knowledgeable and cut me a great deal for this.

You can see here why I want it facing this way.

The proper switch is the onle I will use since it has a better approach angle, thicker copper, and a better connector posistion.

The XJ switch will work. I can bend the tab that closes the circuit and it will function just fine. However, even though I can use it how it is, i do t like the direction the electrical connector is facing.

The MJ copper contacts are thicker and slightly longer. Also, you can see the connectors are oriented in opposite directions. The bolt holes are the same placement and even the plastic is extremely similar.

I had to trim the bolt to sit flush against the footwell. (Sorry i didnt get a picture of it afterwards, but you get the point)

The build quality of the Ford panel is better than the Chrystler one. Not only is there more room, but there is more ACCESSIBLE room.

This is the Ford lower panel. It is exactly the right size tall, just a little too long.
