Hi.
Due to preparing the car for track racing I have to have cutoff switch fitted.
There is plenty on EBay and other sites but don't know which one to buy ? Same looking switches are £10-£30 so a bit confusing...

Also, what else do I need to get one of these fitted ?

Ideally if somebody could tell me where to buy a complete kit from ?

Thank You

 

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FIA-Approv...item3cd6e1cd37 That and extra battery cable which will need to be run into car. Other option is fit electrical cut off.

 

Make sure you buy a good one as the cheap ones can back feed voltage and fry your ecu

 

Cartek is your boy! Not cheap tho

 

use a diode and it wont happen chap.

 

Thanks a lot guys

Blue Book says that the car has to have 2 switches fitted. One inside for the driver and another one outside for fire marshals.
In this case, do I need 2 switches wired or simply mount the switch outside (under the windscreen) and pull cable attached to it fitted inside of the car ??

 

Yeah it comes with the good one

 

Other way around ,,, two pulls on the outside one goes to fire extinguisher the other goes to the cut off switch inside the car

 

Was close :-) Thank You
Where do I fit that resistor to ?

 

TBH I can't see it working :-(
I mean, where and how the switch has to be fitted to be operated from outside using the pull cable if you know what I mean ?
Can I use 2 switches ? 1 mounted under the bonnet and pull cable attached to it and 2 inside of the car ?

 

Also, the switch has 4 pins, where do I plug this ?
Sorry for all these questions but I've never played with such a things so...
Once I'll have a fitting guide I'll be fine :-)

 

Most ones iv seen mounted in classics are put on the passengers side of the dash close to the middle , the cable is ran to that point and held in place with clips around its sleaving and then cable inside is attached to the hole in the cut off switch ,, then once pulled the cable will turn the cut off switch and cut the connection ,, make sure its mounted right so the cable will pull it to the off postion

 

Cheers mate. I know I theory how this works but was hoping for some pictures showing it :-)
I've read somewhere that its good to use a brake line/pipe as a sleeve. Basically run the cable through it so it won't get caught anywhere plus it also will work as good isolator from dump/wet. What do you think about it ?

I'm still thinking about using 2 switches so no hassle with running pull cable through the dash.

 

Anybody else can comment my idea regarding using 2 switches ?

 

Both would have to work off one pull cord though ? Ie a marshal would have to be able to kill the car from the outside with one pull cable ,,,not sure how you could do two switches like that ?
