Push button starter question
During the panel upgrade I’d like to use a push button starter and mag switches. I found one on Acft Spruce and the description says it’s for use as a start switch and only about $6. Is this what everyone is using that have a push button starter or is there a better one? See below.

I like the one from Stein, with the bezel ring:

I have a starter button and 2 mag switches in the RV-8 I bought and I wondered why anyone would do that instead of using a more common keyed switch like you find in Cessnas. It must be that it's included in the kit already?

B&C has a nice one also.
I used the small button switch from B&C for primer solenoid from ACS. This was in addition to the Big starter button with bezel ring from B&C.

be careful. Some of the starter switches are not rated high enough. The starter contactor will draw about 4 amps.

I used the start button out of a Honda S2000, but because of the amp draw had to add a secondary relay.

+1 on what Carl posted.

I used a "universal 12V car red illuminated engine start switch" off ebay. So far so good.

It is stiff to push, so you aren't going to hit it accidently. I did not install the rubber boot but left the chrome button visible. |
