Can't say I've ever done this, but I would ask - how hard do you
stomp on the brakes? Are inertia switches calibrated for that? On
the other hand, an oik-pressure-drop switch must have an override
circuit tied to the ignition key, possibly the accessories position,
so that it will generate fule pressure when the engine is first
started.

Only if you expect your SpitSix to have the inertia of an MGB. They
need a dedicated switch to keep it all under control. You probably
won't.

And why do you suppose there are so many available? :-)
