Re: Converting stomp starter to push button

The big issue is if you have room in that spot for the switch to stick out on the other side of the firewall. Some engine swaps take up all the room in that area. The Tractor Supply one is about 7.95 and you could stick it though the hole upside down from the inside to mark the spots to drill the holes to mount it. About a 15 minute job start to finish if you have someone who can hold it while you put the screws in.
If I read you correctly you're not incorporating the original stomp starter button which is what I'm trying to do. Old tech activates new (sorta) tech.
