I was trying to use the ACS Ignition switch so that I would not have a gaping hole
in the center of the panel.
I will use two toggle switches with a guard to keep from inadvertently shutting
them down.
Thanks for the responses.

The E-mag I am going to be using is made by Rotec in Australia.
It uses about 3.5 amps at cruise RPM's.
The Jabiru Mags need about 300 RPM to fire so if your battery is weak, oil is cold
and thick, and the fuel doesn't want to vaporize it makes for a bad morning.
We are only talking about 55 to 65 degrees. The Rotec mag will allow propping
the engine so it's a win win situation.

Bobby:
A suggestion:
Do NOT use a guard. The guard I am referring to is the type that when
pushed down turns the switches to OFF. The guard that works very well is a
simple U on both sides of the switch sort of like this (!), They work very
well, as long as the height is ABOVE that of the switch. Another type of
switch would be on the order of a Landing Gear Retract Switch... It
requires a PULL OUT so the switch can be moved from one position to the
other.

Bobby,
The Rotec mag will *not* allow you to hand prop the engine, and in fact
it would be downright dangerous to try. The ignition is fixed at 20
degrees BTDC, an attempt to hand prop would cause a kickback and might
take your fingers. I know Paul from Rotec advertizes that it can be
done, I dare him to put his attempt on Youtube.
