Kill switch installation

Long time no mods, so I've decided to finally install a kill switch for Berta.

I was wondering where I should put it and I've visited many threads here to see what others do. Thanks guys! And I've decided to put it on the shift lever's knob.

1. Here's the switch and the removed from the car knob.

2. I needed to cut the hole for the switch

3. First fitting


4. The worst part - to run cables through the knob

5. Switch soldered

6. Almost ready

7. After some trimming around the switch


8. Knob back in the car


Now I have to run cables through the wall and connect the switch to injection pump and starter.


And small update on my MPGuino. I forgot to put the picture of my MPGuino switches, here they are:
