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
