Yep, that will be fine; your starter relay will draw 3-5 A and since you're
only drawing that for a couple of seconds at a time no problem. Be sure to
put a reverse biased diode across the coil of the starter relay as this will
prolong the life of your switch; if you're not sure how to do that I can
send you a diagram.
The diode short circuits the relay coil when you release the switch so that
the stored magnetic energy in the coil 'recirculates' in the coil and dies
down, rather than keeping an arc going across your switch contacts and
burning them.

I want to install a separate starter button, i have purchased a press button
switch, rated at 6 amps @ 12 v and 6 amps @ 250v Is this OK.

Alan, I use this one:
http://www.bandc.biz/starterpush-buttonswitch.aspx
Works great, comes from Newton, KS so no currency conversions.
You might also consider the Aeroelectric Connection also here on the
Matronics forums. Bob has two proven electrical architectures for Rotax
engined aircraft. Easier than inventing something new and Bob's book will
give you great insight into how to efficiently herd electrons about.

I'll second what Rick said. The AeroElectric list is THE place for
aviation electronics/electrical information.
