Ok so I drew up some 3D printed files in Fusion 360 and sent those to my 3D Printer. For $200 each, I have worked these two printers like a Dickenson Orpan over the last 9 months, and they have been great.

Anyways, two hours later, and I have parts that can then be assembled. The base is about 1/4" thick. I stepped the holes on the base side so I could press in the M3 nuts.

Then everything just went together with M3 cap screws I already had.

The bowden cable (not pictured) gets clamped down on the right side, and the inner wire, when the dash knob is pushed in, will press on the microswitch lever. Which, when hooked up in an NC configuration, will turn the choke off. When the dash knob is pulled out, it will release the microswitch lever and turn the choke on.

This is my prototype, so I make need to make a very adjustment to make sure the inner bowden wire is captured currently and directed onto the microswitch lever.

But basically, there is a bowden cable to electrical switch adapter made for less than $5.

The 1/4" large holes in the base are for zip ties to secure it up the dash. Or it could be used for bolts I suppose.
