I put mine on the dash of my Mutt. In my old M38A1 I used starter floor
switch from auto store on floor. Dash you can use push button or toggle.
CUCV I used dash push button for manual glow plug system which will work for
siren also. Radio Shack or Auto store. Either will work cheap.

Stu,
Did you put yours on the dash or the floor? RivRad's is $12 for the floor
and $27 for the dash. I've got a Radio Shack a few blocks away.
Thanks.
Steve
