another shot
Momo does make a steering wheel that mounts the button to it but it wouldn't work with the quick disconnect well.

Here's what it looks like with the wheel out of the way.
If you look closely you will see the plate sandwiched between the hub adapter and the quick release adapter (black line).
That's Wilkinson's ss billet quick release hub for the Momo. After living with it I think, if you don't have one, you need one. It's a work of art craftsmanship wise and a stroke of genius on Steve's part for sure. Very, very trick item.
Makes it so easy to work under the dash with the wheel popped out of the way.

This is a good picture of the brake pedal modification.
Off topic but it is amazing the difference by doing this one little mod.

That piece is very cool. Is that a momo part# or from somewhere else?

The button holder is a Momo piece. A lot of people carry them.
I just thought it looked appropriate and liked the location. It makes the start button fall at hand.
It also gives the entire assembly a nice three dimensionality, especially since everything is black except the buttons.
If you are going to go through the effort, put the starter button here. It's worth the effort.

That is awesome, Doug. Can't wait to see it live ... whenever that is 
When I added a push button starter to my Pantera, I found that a Honda S2000 start button fits perfectly in the hazard switch hole, so that's where I put it. I also found the hazard switch fits perfectly in the cigar lighter hole, in the console, so that's where I moved it to (by making a simple extension harness).
I used a start button controller made by KP Technologies. A friend wired it up for me, so that my original keyed ignition still works as a backup, in case the push button starter or controller fail.

I installed a push button in my car and love it.
As far as stealing it, I have a fuel pump switch, it allows the car to start, but you only go about 1- block or so and the car runs out of gas, but, unless you live in Detroit, who is going to steal your car anyway? The chances are they would rather steal a Honda,they can cut it up and sell the parts, that's reality.

I've had the push button in all season, and I love it. So far it has worked perfectly.
The only thing I found was having to push the brake pedal to start was a pain in the a** so I relocated the source to a button switch beside the push start. Much better. My remote door locks/alarm system also completely disables the ignition system when locked, so the car is still safe.
So far, so good. I won't go back to the keys unless I have to.
