[TR] Hand Brake left on

[Cosmo Kramer]

Hi List!
Well I thought that Randall had a good idea of placing a switch on
the Hand Brake (HB). The type that works like the refrigerator switch. When
the door is closed (the HB is down & not engaged), the light is off. Then when
the door is opened (the HB is engaged), the light would go on.  
To carry this
one step future:
Set the wiring up in such a way so when the HB is engaged
(light is on), that the ignition circuit is disengaged (car won't start). This
could easy be done with a switch that would works in the reverse way the
refrigerator switch works (or like a standard 'on-off' switch is), but with a
'button style' like the refrigerator switch is with a spring inside it. NOW,
there is no way she (or anyone else) can  start the car to drive it with the
HB on or engaged). 
 
This would work as an anti-theft device, too!   OR    An
automatic 'Kill Switch'. If you were driving along & say your brakes gave out
(like a leak in the MC or Brake Line) then once you lifted the HB, The engine
would die & the HB would be engaged & the brakes as well. Now if you released
the HB the engine would be off & the car's gears engaged until you pressed in
the clutch peddle or placed the tranny in Neutral. 
Just a thought?-Cosmo
