It is logic level power from the BCM. It's not directly connected to the ignition switch. The BCM receives power from the ignition switch at each position, so the logic controller knows what position it is in, and will power the switch circuit accordingly. Only way to know is to read the BCM programming, or test on a donor/with a multimeter.I wasn't sure where the orange wire gets its power. That schematic doesn't show. Think it's acc.
Well I feel pretty dumb. I tried searching and couldn't find those pictures. Unfortunately, I've cut off the radiator tabs that they're mounted to.
I think the holes in the base of the handle are too big for self-tappers, unless you use a big washer. I'm going to see about finding a couple different sized spacers to raise it off the tunnel cap just enough to let the shift cables pass under it. The kit came with six 1/4" thick spacers, but I'm not sure how they're supposed to be arranged. Having two long bolts and three short is also puzzling me.I'm getting ready to install the shifter/cables and the e brake. I'm also curious how the e brake handle gets mounted to the tunnel cap. Are we supposed to use self taping screws to mount it? Also how do the shifter cables pass around the e brake handle?
I can not help you out much with this. I made my own bracket with a Lokar style handle.I'm getting ready to install the shifter/cables and the e brake.

I had this one photo. Looks like the spacers prop up the front of the handle bracket. This was taken in the early stages of development. As you can see, it only has one screw holding it to the tunnel cap.I think the holes in the base of the handle are too big for self-tappers, unless you use a big washer.

How about the heighth of the e brake cables. Do they hit the fuel tank rail? I know this area is kinda tight.Unless I'm overlooking something, yeah.
I'll have to report back to you on that. I don't recall it being overly tight when I was test fitting without spacers, but not sure.How about the heighth of the e brake cables. Do they hit the fuel tank rail? I know this area is kinda tight.
The kit does not come with hardware for seat belts. I used 1/2" bolts for the shoulder, they fit the tube real nice. I bought 3 1/2" long bolts and then had to cut them shorter for the factory plastic cover to fit. I then used self locking nuts so I could leave them a little loose so they could rotate freely. I used 1/2" X 1 1/4" bolts on the lower outside mounts as well with a self locking nut to allow them to rotate. Are you using stock seats, or aftermarket? My inside lower attach point was built into the original cobalt seat.I'm having a little trouble with seatbelt mounting. I think the reel is pretty simple, I found a donor m12 bolt that I'm pretty sure was for seatbelts anyway.
Based on the hole size in the side of the tunnel, I used m10 bolts to mount the center buckle.
The lower anchor seems to be sized for an m14, which I found a bag of (6 or 8 maybe) in the remainder of the kit hardware, but didn't find any nuts for. Not sure if that's what they were intended for or not... As I've said, the "intended purpose" of all the bags of kit hardware has been long forgotten.
The top is probably the most confusing. I'm guessing it originally was mounted with a shoulder bolt, allowing it to pivot, but not sure how it's intended to go here. I've got it mounted with a gr10.9 M10 at the moment, but M12 does fit through the mounting tube. Again though, I didn't find anything in the kit hardware.
I know almost everyone is using aftermarket harnesses, but my seats don't have a slot, and I don't want to use a 4 point for safety reasons.
