Air Compressor toggle switch

[Android04]

So I was thinking about setting up a switch to kick on my air ride compressor while still using a pressure switch. Kind of a bypass on/off to the pressure switch. Currently my compressor only kicks on at 165psi and shuts off at 200psi.

My thoughts is to wire this into a single speed wiper switch for a 1964-1966 C10, since it's just a open and closed circuit type switch. Plus no one would ever know as it would look completely stock.

My questions are the following:

Would the switch above be able to handle that kind of current?

Any way to wire this up to where the pressure switch will still turn off the compressor once it's at pressure to avoid adding to much air to the tank?

Just a brainstorm, so feel free to educate me.

as far as turning it on and off, just use a relay with enough amp rating to run the compressor..
as for turning it off at pressure , id think you would have to run the power thru a pressure switch of sorts...im betting the compressor is sealed up with no way to tie into it
you could use a simple pressure switch to accomplish that...maybe similar to this...

Yep, I second the relay the switch idea.

Oh yeah I could setup a relay for the switch to make sure it's safe. I can handle that!
