P-mag Test Buttons

I've been looking all over for a button that I can use to test my P-mags. Prefer a push button that is On when not pushed, and Off momentarily when pushed. I can find lots of Off when not pushed and On momentarily when pushed, but not vice versa.

Any leads? :D
 
Less is more

Consider:
There are two things to test.
1-Does the Pmag start with 12v input ? This is the normal run up test.
2- Does the internal generator work ? Just turn off the master when you shutting down and do a runup test above 1000 RPM.
All is good, only one switch per Emag, Down is no 12v and up in 12v supplied.
 
This the button SteinAir sold me for the P-Mag test button.
FWIW I use ones very similar to those, might even be the same ones. I have a dual E-Mag ignition so I have one switch per E-Mag. Here is what the setup looks like with the switches at the bottom left.

Another version ...
Mag switches are locking (must pull to change position) and test switches are momentary, spring loaded to ON.
