I have a starter relay (old Ford type) and starter button. Works great. My worry was placement. Hitting it at the wrong time could cause some trouble. On my 86 spdr I put it in the dash where the little flat plastic notched plug on the door side of the steering wheel below the gauge pod. I think the plug was for pehaps a throttle cable on the euro cars. Anyway I am happy with the location. Never have hit it accidentally. It does confuse anyone else who is trying to move the car and doesn't know it's there. I too installed it after an ignition switch failure. With all the other mods I have on this car it doesn't make much difference to originality. I would not do this to a fairly original car.
One thing we all might do is make a list of the mods done to the car and perhaps keep it in the glove box of the cars. As the years go by cars change hands and folks are left in a quagmire, reading manuals and parts numbers and searching for help. Lots of us have more than one Alfa and are constantly doing things to keep them running and it's easy to get confused which one we did what to. Just a thought.
