Thanks for responses all. And good to know a switch
won't be too much money.

If I was really cheap though, (and really foolish)
I'd do what I did with my first car (58' Beetle) and
wire up a toggle sw. for ign. and door bell button on
dash for starter. Of course back then very few people
would want to steal a 58' Beetle.......
