Default fuel pump switch lock

Hey guys, I am a (hopefully) soon to be s2k owner and I am already on the defense looking for items to protect it. I really liked the idea of the fuel pump switch and I came across these products. It a switch, but it is activated with a key. I thought it would be a cool idea to use this as a switch and was hopefully add a little bit of extra security.











The company is located in the UK though, but they do ship to America. There is a export fee but it seems worth it to me. What do you guys think? Also, I dont know if an American company makes the same thing, but then we wouldnt have to worry about export fees. Click here for the link to their site.

That is a cool idea, but couldnt someone just rip the two wires and piece them together?

Ive never seen that before though

yes, but there are 6 prongs, just add a few phony wires and a ground. let them short out the fuel system trying to figure it out.

good idea, but I probably won't do it.

I think a simpler option is just to install a kill switch, simple toggle you can hide, easily flip, and you don't have to worry about losing a key.
