Rags for your hands and steering wheel, that is...
Your supposed to use the terminal block to apply power to the starter solenoid. In using the key switch you stand the possibility of the engine starting because the vac will be removed from the stop valve on the IP!
A short hunk of wire (14 gA is fine) about 6 in long will do the job, heck I've even used a pair of longnose pliers. You know, the three terminal place that the factory shows you connect their fancy pushbutton thingie? On the fenderwell near the battery on the 300D
