One of th eapproved rule changes, required for the 2010 season is the implementation of an inertia switch to shut down an electric fuel pump in an upset condition. I think this is a greeat idea. BUt

I'd mount the sensor on the chassis so the shock will not be attenuated by soft padding, etc. The sensor probably will have enough current capacity to drive a relay in series with the electric fuel

I have one in my liner that activates a relay that shuts down the ignition circuit. I have a mechanical fuel pump. This Ford switch has only been activated once....on purpose.....to see if it worked

The impact to knock out the "inertia" switch is considerably higher than the bumping of a push truck. How many push trucks have triggered this switch? Have anyone with anything manufactured in the p

There is a discussion about this on the Landracing website. It's obvious that at least 2 folks have been using these switches and the rest of us have 1+ years to figure out what to do. Holley blues a

Be really careful with placing loads on switches unless you know for absolutely certain that they are rated for the load current. If the contacts are overloaded it is not uncommon for the contacts t

James, all... I too wonder how to demonstrate that the device is functional. But another thought also comes to mind. Are these things directional? Would they activate in a roll over? Or does it take

No one has asked the big question what resets them ie. are they a one time use if so you can not test them.. sort of like testing a fuse.. They should at least latch up if activated.. Testing is sort

You have given the reasons to read about what you are buying. Most of the toggles I buy are rated at 40/50 amps and are rated for DC. Toggles for the most part can not taken aart for servicing. The o
