Hi All

I have a manitou mt1740, and am wanting to fit a switch to my aux circuit button, basically so when i am using attachment i dont have to hold the button on at the joy stick, i just need to flick the switch?

Not sure about that side of the pond, but on my side it would be breaking an OSHA Regulation. It's designed that way as a safety feature and you can not modify anything that has to do with capacity or safety without the manufacturers written permission and has to be performed to their specs.
