Has anyone seen these?

I'm thinking about the mkII dash, and the hazard light switch will be redundant, and I thought a push-start would be a cool way to use the switch gap. Obviously the hole is the wrong shape, but that wouldn't take much, would it, and with the dash out and all. Just thinking out aloud!

Opinions, thoughts, experiences all great!

i never really see the point of the push start. Dont you still have to put the key in and turn it? just delays the journey. Sure the shape would matter as could just use the hazard button and mod it slightly.
Y not use it for an ejector seat!!! That sounds like fun lol

I had a look at that button when I was browsing for mine, but I felt it looked too "plasticy." Having said that the surroundings would be plastic so might look fine.

Providing it fits in the gap, I'd probably just butcher the hazard button and fit the button into it, and just stop the hazard button from pushing in when you push the start button. Easier said than done though!

For a tenner I reckon it's worth a punt. I'm still not 100% though.
