All you need is a solenoid and what ever you want to use, start button, or a key type start switch. The two battery leads go on the solenoid like your current set up, then two wires up to the button etc. Easy. You could mount the button up under the dash, so that its not easy to see.

Thanks mate that sound simple enough for even me to follow. Changing the system sure makes starting much easier. I could leave the old foot starter switch in place and as you suggest conceal the new button, that way everyhtingl still looks just like the original concept.

You have to have a solenoid to replace your foot starter. the solenoid does what your foot did, when you feed the power through the start button.
