RE: ignition switch
Several of us have done it, me included. It will fit just below the fuel gauge. I drilled a 2" hole, but 1 7/8 or so would probably be better (closer tolerance).
I suggest miking the switch diameterbefore drilling the hole. Got my switch from Eastern Performance for around $25.
Any number of ways to wire it, etc.
I'll ry to get a decent pic for you of my install.

RE: ignition switch

RE: ignition switch
If you have a shop manual and have ever done any electrical work, you should be able to adapt just about any kind of ignition switch to work how you need it to. You may have to fabricate the adaptor for the console. If you aren't comfortable making changes like that, check out some of your local indy's and find out what they can do for you.

RE: ignition switch
I wired mine in series with the frame mounted switch. You could wire it in parallel or completely disconnect the frame switch. Dn't know of any plug/play connector(s)
I'll try to pm you the pics.
