[Fot] safety switches

[Duncan Charlton]

Art,

I fitted one to a road car (1971 Morgan Plus 8) so I’m not sure how a race car’s level of vibration and sudden jolts to a stiffer suspension would affect it.  I pulled one out of a junkyard Ford Taurus.  I put it where I can reset it from the driver’s seat but have never had to reset it in 20,000 miles or so of mostly road use and a small amount of short road course track and autocross use.
