Looks correct to me, all your doingis interupting positive voltage , a simple meter test should show you open and closed positons, if you have those then your good to go, if you dont have a meter, hook up your batt and a motor to the output side of the switch and see if you can control the motor on/off via the switch.
Thanks, I was in doubt about this because I was told that it works with this other method also (see picture):
Ok in the picture they have the black wires connected together and on 1 terminal of the switch, which really wont do anything but cause a possible short should the switch fail, and being that they have both positive and negative voltage hooked up, theat's more then possible of happening,and seeing as bothblack wires are soldered togetherthen to the one termianl on the switch really does not make any sense to me anyways, notlike the black wires are being controlled by the switch anyhow,I would just do it the way you have at as it's safer and makes more sense to me
