Clutch starter switch

What attaches the clutch starter switch to the pedal assembly? I see a little tab with a threaded hole on the pedal assembly, but I'm not sure if that's where the switch attaches to. The switch itself has a funny looking plastic bushing.
If it does attach with just a screw.. anyone have a pic of it? I probably have one in my box of screws. I just haven't had this thing installed in 2 years so I have no idea how it went!

the switch is threaded and threads (read push really hard) into that stamped nut that is tabbed into the mounting hole. No screws.

Edit: Why are you using this switch? Does anyone else drive your car ever?

With the DOHC ECU, it has a clutch switch input, so that it won't stall out coming to a light. I used this switch instead for the ECU input, instead of the starting lockout.

I dont follow? you mean the switch that wont let the car start unless the pedal is depressed right? Thats what I was talking about.

That's what I thought, in which case, isn't it called the clutch switch?

Clutch switch, clutch safety switch, I also assumed the same thing when you said starter switch.

I don't remember there being any other switches on the clutch pedal itself.

No, you were talking about the cruise control clutch switch. It is not the same switch. There are two switches on the clutch pedal. I know how the cruise control safety switch hooks up; the threaded body makes it pretty clear.. I have that installed already..

The clutch starter switch is the funny looking one..
