BEC Electrics; Run - Engine Kill switch

Following a discussion at work today what have others done in relation to wiring;

Fitted an appropriate switch or simply wired permanently to run?

I'm planning to use a Savage push-to-make push-to-break switch with a relay to act as a stop switch. I have also used a row of ultra-bright LEDs as my oil pressure warning light. The hope is that if the oil pressure LEDs light I can hit the stop switch and save the engine.

Well I don't know who you were speaking to in work but his advice to ditch the kill switch sounds spot on to me

And it's about time we saw some photos!!!! Get a picture of your bits on here

I wired mine into a switch panel on the dash. If I have a fuel leak, I want to be able to kill the power quickly. It is not meant to be an on/off switch per se.
