My car was built for Virginia City hill climb in 84. It came with a melal master switch mounted through the fire wall with the lever inside under the dash.When belted in it was unreachable.It was a neat set up with a "L" bracket acting as a buss strap to the starter relay ,all directly above the starter.More than once the difficulty of belting in again or anticaption of just a momentary wait ,I left that switch on .The warm water would collect at the top of the radiator.The electric fans would come on and the battery would be near dead.If I had enough battery to operate one of the electric fuel pumps to put a splash of gas in carbs, almost any motion was enough to pop the clutch and start.Still embarassing.I'm redoing a lot fo aspects of the car.I'm adding a Flaming river switch to the near middle of the dash in series to the original switch.It is accessable while still strapped in or from outside the car.Twist on push off.Big red knob. also has isolating circuits for ingition cut off.
