Need help converting 3 phase air compressor to single phase

[sbin]

Going through the same thing.
A friend was doing work in a closed Chevy dealer and set me up with an older Ingersoll Rand T30 model 253 compressor 5hp 3ph.
Replaced the heater in the Square D starter and installed a 3hp motor I had laying around until I can find a deal on a correct sized 5hp or 7.5hp 1ph Baldor motor

Get a leviton ms602. On amazon it was less than 40 bucks. Mount out on a stee 4" box with the correct switch plate and you have a very clean setup. Other options have hinged covers that need to be opened and when they are form you don't know the status of the switch.

Is this the one you're referring to?

Would something like this work?
