[TR] Inertia switch

[DAVID MASSEY]

 And it has the advantage that you can switch it off by pulling the button.  The domestic (American) switches don't do that.
I have a two-pin connector on mine so I can unplug it with the same results.  It came in handy the other day on the Veteran's Day run.  I fueled up before the run and the new petrol must have been a special winter blend and the car loaded up and died because of fuel boiling in the float bowls.  I unplugged the pump and cranked the engine until is started and settled out.  Sometimes old technology and new consumables just don't mix.

The original inertia switch from old Joe Lucas on the injection TRs was a good anti theft device too. No one knew what they were looking at and it was often mistaken as a flasher unit.

i went to the junkyard and pulled the inertia switches from some tauruses and sables. as I recall, 3 bucks each.
The rubber cover from the tr3 solenoid fits the reset button well if you mount outside the interior. I did that and sealed with silicone any other joints.

List,
Installing aftermarket Delphi electric fuel pump for low flow output on my 75 TR6 Diablo project car and thought I should install an inertia switch for safety measure.   Any recommendations on good aftermarket inertia switch?
