RE: [T3] PushButton Starting


I would love to hear back that switches for a '67 are
readily available and inexpensive.  10 years ago one
cost me $70.  It failed shortly after installation, so
I installed a generic switch to the bottom of the dash.
Yeah, anyone with a half a brain could hotwire it in
a moment, but I couldn't afford a new switch a second time.

The starter relay is commonly used to try and solve a hard
starting problem.  Aged wiring, corroded connectors, long
wiring from battery to ignition switch and then to starter
lend it self to a relay to shorten he wiring run.  Very
common 'fix' for busses, even had to do it in my '80 Vanagon.

Are new switches available for 67's?  Just in case I need to replace mine.

The PO also wired in a external starter relay, ala what's used on american
cars.  I don't know what this guy was thinking!

> My Fastback's Key socket is sloppy.  Has anyone installed a pushbutton for
starting.  Where did you 'cut' into the wireing?  How heavy a gage needed
back to the pushbutton?  (Still plan to use my ket for on & off.)  thanks -
