gawd damn, no offense but some of ya all got some janky 1/2 ass installed/mounted kill switches! hahaha lolz but hey they work, so hard to knock 'em! i really like the shifter mounted switches, but i dont personally prefere one that is integrated into the shifter knob itself - having one that mounts to the shifter rod, just below the knob - sounds like an awesome idea. I have one mounted on the right side of the Ebrake. its a HUGE red push button momentary switch

switch is similar to this, but w/o the cover:

AC 660V 10A 22mm Red Mushroom Momentary Push Button Switch No NC w Cover | eBay

how it is mounted:

i just kind of let my arm drop off the shifter, and boom it rests nicely on the switch, which stops power to the fuel pump. hold the button until engine dies. release, button and car is ready to start again via key or bump start

jury is still out as to where i want to mount the switch in my newly acquired Insight....
