I bought a very small push button switch at an auto parts store

About 3/8 inch in diameter

I drilled a hole and installed it in a metal brace that’s under the seat cover

It’s wired in line with the regular key switch

So you have to twist the ignition key to the start position AND hold this button down at the same time to run the starter

I’ve seen one where they used the cruise control button

I’ve seen one where they used the windshield squirter button

And a couple of my old 18 wheelers had a low oil pressure shutdown that killed the engine if the oil pressure dropped too low

To start the engine you held down the low oil shutdown over ride button while running the starter and held it down till the pressure came up after the engine was cranked and idling

I’ve put a switch in the neutral safety switch line - purple wire on 70’s/80’s Chevy Camaros (possibly others) at bottom of steering column or the floor sifter. I just added a micro switch in a “super secret” location.
