A while back my 87 Audi 4000 ignition switch dumped on me and I couldn't start the car. So until I got a new switch, I put 2 small switches together with some attachment wires, one switch is a toggle and one a push button. Toggle for power and button for the starter.

I kept the little switch module and used it again last year to test an extra 1.8L engine I picked up.

The switch ratings are not that high (5-10A) and worked out good. Turned the motor over time after time w/o issue. The soleniod on the starter is not that heavy a draw to fry the switches. This module would suite remote testing real nice.

Here's a pic of the module attached to my engine.
