Starter switch n button

Had a toggle switch for ignition on/off and a push button for the starter on my old dash, I sold the dash complete when I stripped for my rebuild and now need to source some replacements.
I've googled and looked at various web sites and the cheapest option would appear to be to buy a starter panel off ebay,


I don't want to use the panel its self but its cheaper than all the switches I've found.

Anyone got any advice / used these, are the switches up to the job, maybe you know of a better / locost alternative?

fior stealth purposes our road going car has an old 2 position heater fan switch for off /position 1 and 2 then an electric fuel pump switch and finally a starter button, low key and low tech and locost!
A bus appeared in our scrappy one day so we liberated some of the old bakelite red !"push once" buttons which we thought would go as a starter through a relay. I can look you one out if any good, also re switch panels we have an engraver at work with suitable double layered plastic (some of which looks like brushed ali) which allows these things to be personalised.
