Switch Panels ?
« on: January 02, 2016, 04:09:35 PM »
Need some inspiration for locating a switch panel.  I have no dash within reach, no space around axle, where do you guys have your ignition / starter switch ?

In a dragster I usually run a narrow panel down from the steering column/shaft to the top of the rear end. This is not a great angle for a photo to show what I mean but it was easy to find in my files. As you can see it has the mag kill switch and the beginnings of the reverser handle running through it.

Yeah, I am from the south--any further south and I would have been a bloody penguin.
