Trying to find one of these, help?

I'm trying to find a piece of 12v hardware that i'm not sure whats called. You plug what appears to be a guitar jack plug into it and it bridges the starter circuit in this case, its used as an ignition killswitch.

It looks like it really is just some audio bits modified to do the job. Not a bad idea actually. I assume that inside the male part the two terminals are soldered together so it becomes basically a jumper.

Hi Qawr, they are a 3.5mm audio plug and socket and they have a very low current rate.

You can get them from places like Jaycar.

If your after something small for power and don’t mind end-of-line type connectors, try Anderson PowerPoles, a pair are not much bigger in size but they come with either 15, 30 and 45 amps contacts and cost about $5 for a set of 4, two pos and two neg.

Looks more like 6.5mm stereo headphone/microphone socket, about $2 from any Dick Smith/Jaycar/Tandy/other electronics store

You'd be surprised how many cars used to come into work with the headphone jack.prett simple to get around with a screwdriver though.

Neat trick. Though if a .ing lowlife really wants the car they'll get it, all you can do is slow them down enough that they pinch something easier.

If a professional wants your car, give him the keys.
