Ignition barrel

Post by ROBBIE » Tue Aug 20, 2013 10:29 am

I need to get rid of the above as its falling to pieces. I already have a start button and now want to put a switch in. So the question is what will I need, a switch obviously, wire, relay? Anything else?

you should be able to use one of those isolator switches with the red key. that way its not as easy to steal. id imagine a realy and in line fuse would be advisable as well bud :thumbup:

although dont ask how because I tend to struggle with electrickery a bit. its the not being able to see it that does me in :S

hmmm. could put a kill switch hidden underneath the dash somewhere. so you have to switch the kill switch then the isolator then the button. seems long winded but it won't get nicked
