Thank you all. Stuart, you make a good point. As the current kill switch is mounted visibly in the passenger foot well it is an open car, then logically you are correct, it is externally mounted. I had argued to the scrutineer that stickers pointing to the switch might be a solution. I had also heard about a solution with the paddle keys, by drilling a hole in the key and attaching a prominent wire hung on the outside of the car, such that when the wire is pulled, the key rotates and being spring loaded(push and turn) it pops off.
