    From Forte! For ease of installation, I ran 12 volts to the seat location, tucked all the control wiring in the seat and put the switch on the front of the seat bracket. It's easy to get to and doesn't clutter the dash.
    FFR 5136 Started as a donor...donor guages, engine, trans,etc. Now...TFS street intake,stage 1 cam, GT40p's,24# injectors and 80mm MAF,70mm TB,Z-spec t-5, and PSE Halibrand wrapped with Nitto 555 G2’s. My ever evolving dream car!!

    got mine from cobra heat. I think Mike Forte sells them too.
    Easy to install. Just need to figure out your wiring and switch placement.

    Got mine from Summit, thay are made by Dorman. They come with the switches and relays all pre-wired. Simple installation instructions. The switches have a high and low setting. They look and work great. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/RNB-628-040

    I used some generic Dorman units. I simply ran power to the seats and installed the switches and other bits into the seat assembly. I did this for both of my builds.

    Here’s what I did… This may help:

    Thank you all. I have an unused heater power source wire—thinking of this for power.
