SJL Posted March 8, 2003 Share Posted March 8, 2003 I have just purchased a nice red starter button and spent some time perusing the archives for wiring diagrams - very useful My question is where is the best place for it - my first thought was on the RHS of the wheel (so you can keep the left hand free for the gears) but theres not much room unless I place it right under the wheel. Whats everybody do ? Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Barbie Posted March 9, 2003 Share Posted March 9, 2003 Mine is above the gear stick, centre of the dash. Directly above the button I have the ignition switch so starting the car involves lifting the aero cover flap in the switch, flipping up the main ignition and then prodding the starter button. To shut down quickly, the flap is spring loaded so you just swat that and it shuts everything down. Keys are for girls 😬 I don't care a sod about having the button ready to get going again quickly if you stall, I just care that this way it looks the dogs bollocks to any passenger and makes getting the car fired up that bit more special. I hear a lot of crap about the best location to start the car quickly but this way my hand would be on the gear stick anyway so right underneath the fire it up button. I think you get used to any position and it become second nature to get to the button quickly if ever needed in a race situation. shrewdcookie - my site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budgie Posted March 9, 2003 Share Posted March 9, 2003 Mine's on the rhs of the steering wheel-as you say keeps the lh free for the the gearstick. Flick up the aero cover and ignition switch press the tit -roar!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Durrant Posted March 9, 2003 Share Posted March 9, 2003 I have placed mine in the same place as the Count and as I do not intend to go racing the small amount of time saved by having it on the right is not a consideration. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acw Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 You might find this link useful here - (not my site btw just share the same initials). I have mine in the centre of the dash also, but I've also left the start on the key enabled. Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rynicolson Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 I've placed mine on LHS, in line with the gears... as I often stall (lightened flywheel doesn't help) when pulling away from junctions (prob my idling is too low... or is it my driving 😬) it means I can go straight from gear sift to "gun"... also like it to stick out!
