Replacing Elocker Control Switch

So I bought my 96 with a retrofitted Elocker and Inchworm harness already installed. It has a plain old metal toggle switch with a light beside it to control the Elocker. When I ordered all of my other switches from OTRATTW, I bought a new Carling rocker for the Elocker. Today when I tore the dash apart to get to the back of the old switch, I noticed it has 6 terminals on the back, and my new switch has 5. After doing some digging, it seems that Inchworm included a DPDT switch in their kit, and the switch I bought is a SPST. I know I am going to have to order a new switch, because I don't see any way to make this SPST work with the harness. But I want to make sure I get the right one.

This is the Inchworm Elocker wiring harness diagram:



This is the diagram for the switch I think I need:



I also saw on some forums where people were using momentary switches and getting rid of the inline resistor from the Inchworm kit, this seems like a good idea to me because it eliminates the constant voltage being sent to the locker the whole time it is engaged. Any opinions?

It needs to be a DPDT switch. The way around this would be to use a DPDT relay and then use your SPST switch to trigger the relay.
