Flatshifter wiring

Hi, If I want to create an ignition cut, where on the following diagram do I break into?
Thinking of a micro switch on the gear lever to activate it.

I would cut the red power supply to both coils and route that through the switch, you will need to put a feed back in for the ecu but that's pretty much how the flat shifters work

Hi Andy, thanks for that.
It doesnt have an ecu as such, just a junction box and igniter unit.
Off that diagram, in laymen terms to me, how would you do it?

Sorry my poor description - pretty much as I said but if you look the ignitor shares a common power feed as the coils, cut the red power to the coils and re route through the switch, at the same time reinstate a power feed to the ignitor upstream from the ignition cut

thanks mate, would I cut in between the ignitor and the coils side or starter button and coils side?

As Andy says - cut the +12V feed going to both coils (red wire) as per this diagram:

As a matter of interest how are you proposing to initiate the ignition kill?
Most flatshifter systems have a kill time of about 60ms and some have lock-outs to avoid multiple kills.
