I added my engine off/start switch to my Spitfire this weekend.

Here are the relays in the engine compartment

And this is my switch. I have since turned it 90 degrees to the left to be between my forefinger and thumb.

The switch is a SPDT Momentary mini switch I got from Frys Electronics.
(ON) OFF (ON)
The relays I got from Amazon as well as the sockets for the relays.
