It seems to me, then, that either way would accomplish the same results. My personal "habit" is to leave the tranny in gear instead of using the E-brake and depress the clutch pedal before starting the engine. Hence, the thought about that option. My T-5 does indeed have the neutral safety switch installed in the top cover but I have no idea if it is actually operational. I could attempt to access the switch and see if it is. Using that switch would eliminate the need for a new switch and bracket on the clutch pedal arm. Either way, would the switch in question be wired into the hot wire from the ignition switch going to the starter relay? That would sound most logical.
By the way, talking about E-brakes, a little tidbit for anyone using a Ford rear disk brake setup such as that found on the 1978-79 Lincoln Versailles. The brake pads used in these calipers utilize the E-brake handle to self-adjust, similar to backing up with a drum style braking system. The pads self-adjust each time the E-brake is applied. Therefore, not using the E-brake can eventually result in a loss of braking effectiveness in the rear brakes and a spongey pedal.
