andydavy Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 The wirings easy. trying to find a space behind dash that can actually take the aircraft switch is nigh on impossible due to the steel bar at the base of dashboard!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Support Team Shaun_E Posted February 26, 2019 Support Team Share Posted February 26, 2019 If you are replacing the ignition barrel entirely then you will need both a switch and a push button for starting. I guess it might be possible that you can get an aircraft switch that has the momentary function on it as well but I've not seen one. Most people turn the power on with the aircraft switch and use a push button to start the engine. The link above describes how to wire those.

elie boone Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 I use an 75 amp relay ( from a diesel pre heating system ) in order to replace the ign barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
