Any thoughts on a starter "button"

This weekend, I intend to do all of the relay mods on my 86 Grad.

I have seen several threads on the Alfa's ignition switch and it seems to be one of the weak spots of our cars. On my Fiat (also noted for weak ignition switches), I wired a "starter" button into my ignition system. I spliced into the wire from the ignition switch to the battery and added a momentarily on button by modifying one of the existing console buttons and a relay. It takes all of the strain off of the ignition switch.

My question: Has anyone done such a mod on an Alfa? Was it worth the effort? Any suggestions that you might share would be most appreciated. TIA

Dean
