    kbic-240d reverse switch

    Hello, I'm trying to figure out how to wire up the f/o/r switch that came with my lathe. Its the ZH-A. The same one that's in the grizzly mini lathe that you can get replacements for from Little machine shop. The board that came in my lathe looks to be an obvious knockoff of the kbic and the smaller board had some blown components so I took everything out and didn't take pictures of the switch. I can already see some improvement over the performance with the new Drive. I was also surprised to see that the emergency stop switch was wired up to cut live and ground. I've wired the kbic-240D up the same. but I don't think this is correct.
    I've attached some photos of the old drive and switch.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    It seems as if this f/o/r swich would have been wired into the auxiliary board the same as the ws180 mini lathes. I had bought a 12-volt dpdt to hook up as a latching relay to enable the kbic from the speed switch so that it will not turn on Startup. I can't seem to find the auxiliary board anywhere.
