Re: Chump car kill switch location Lemons legal?
A trans tunnel mounted switch may be legal but is not ideal if someone needs to kill the motor and or fuel pump to drag you out of your burning crapheap. Burning to death sucks.
The battery cable in our E30, like most BMWs, runs up the passenger side. I mounted the kill switch to a bracket welded to the dash bar and passenger side a pillar bar where it is easily reach from the outside. I then ran a bicycle brake cable over to the a pillar on the driver side within easy reach of both the driver and a corner worker outside the car. I welded washers along the dash bar to guide the cable housing and made a pull by looping the cable with a tiny shaft collar. The pull loop was painted red and put electrical kill stickers on each side of the car.

) to be able to quickly kill electrical power. So, like an earlier poster, we put ours (and his) between the A pillar and the dash, that way the driver can get to it and it won't get crushed in a rollover. We ran a T handle cable to the right side of the car, clearly marked of course, so emergency personnel can find it quickly as well.
