Battery Cut off switch
As I need 2 types of security on the car I am going to use the main ignition key and also a FIA type kill switch
Can I just put the switch inbetween the positive from the battery through the bikes main fuse and use it as a basic switch or am I looking at this to
simply...... I bet I am

That's absolutely fine to do it that way. Just make sure you use a resistor'd switch so you don't fry your regulator.
Either that or make sure you always switch the engine off using the ignition before switching the kill switch.

I doubt he has a steering lock as the paddle shift has to have this removed.
I have placed my kill switch on the starter wire so the igntion will turn on but the engine cant turn over

Yeah, the cut of switch simply goes in the large cable from the battery. Ideally close to the battery. But yes thats it.
An FIA switch as an additional four contacts on the back (as well as the main two) which can be wired to break the ignition feed, and ground the
isolated +ve through a resistor on switch off.
- Meaning if you turn it off with the engin running it will cease to run, and not fry the alternator diodes etc.

Thats good news then.
I do have the FIA switch that has the 4 connectors on the bottom, are you saying that I need to connect these in aswell or can I just use the 2 on the
top

If you put the switch in the main battery live will the hazard light's work?
is that ok for the SVA /IVA
Hypothetical question if your car broke down and you had to leave it would you remove the switch key and have no hazards ?

They will still work as I am running 2 seperate looms, the original bike loom for the engine and a seperate loom for the car electrics, that's
why I was thinking of using the switch in the engine main fuse / +ve cable
