Summit also sells the stock Ford switch for about $30.00 and a stock connector with pigtail for about $5.00- it is listed as a part for a Mustang ... I don't recall exactly what search criteria I entered.... fuel pump shutoff switch or something.... Recently, I have been so pressed for time that taking an hour to go to the auto wreckers is literally out of the question, so I just order online and have it sent....
Oh, and the Ford inertia switch is a 3 connector switch. One position is normally open and the other is normally closed.... which makes it also usable as a grounding circuit if you need one for some reason.... so, DO make sure you use the correct two terminals in order for the switch to function correctly in your application.

The other issue I see at salvage yards around here is that they are a pain to deal with anymore! Most will not even let you in the yard to LOOK. Sad, as a teen the yards allowed me to even pull rearends. In light of that I may just order new.  |

Who you know, phase of the moon, etc determines how much you can do yourself or how small an item they will dig out for you. Inventorys are down, it's all about prepping for the crusher businees. Know anyone that runs demolition derbies? Removing/bypassing the switch is part of normal prep on the Ford stuff if they have any experience at all..... Have 'em set a few aside for you. Ed |

Will the stock Hayabusa tip over switch work in a car at Bonneville or is there a better solution??
BHarmon
The stock tip switch will not do anything until it is laid over 45 degrees, so I would guess it would work for a crash. Be sure to mount it with the rubber ditty it is mounted in on the bike. We put in one of the Ford pieces in the lakester. We have toyed with the idea of putting it back in the parachute circuit as an automatic in case of a crash. |

I think I would be inclined to use the ford switch if it was three wire
Although just checking on summit's site they are nil stock
Probably set it up so that it earths the main ignition and fuel feed thru a change over relay with a fuse it could pop so that the fuel and ignition stay off if it comes back upright

Ford must have put that switch in every vehicle they made. I had to take a couple out of Escort GT's we were prepping to rally with the SCCA. Back right interior panel on the wheel hump.

They were part of the fuel pump electrical circuit on all Fords since the mid/late 1990s.... I believe it was mandated by national safety standards... and all of the other manufacturers had to have them too.... but the Ford switch just happens to be an easy one to get out of the cars and mount and adapt to any other application. |

Rockauto.com lists the FV7 switch at $63.
I used one on a Production race car and kept tripping it in the braking bumps.
By moving it closer to CG of car it helped with false tripping, and I could reach it while strapped in.

In the old days they called that bootlegging.... although I think it was stuff moving from Canada to the US.... In Canada, they call it increased merchandising costs.... due to greater distances between drop-off points, higher transportation, heating etc.... but the sad fact remains that Canada, with about 2 1/2 times the land mass of th USA and one tenth the population is a country that, for a corporation to make the same amount of profit as in, say, the USA, the prices have to be much higher... we applaud the relative ease that, nowadays, things from the USA can be "seamlessly" shipped to us at fairly reasonable cost although the other issues in regards to easing the shipping of goods under rules from the FTA or NAFTA have not been, to any great extent, implemented by most US based suppliers, so there are still paperwork and delay issues..... To Summit's credit, all in all,they do a pretty good job shipping to Canada.... but ..... there is one particular supplier of aftermarket Harley stuff with whom I deal almost exclusively due to their abilty to collect OUR sales taxes and a brokerage fee and then ship (via UPS or Fedex) any order straight to my (or anyone else in Canada) house or business address with NO extra surprise charges at the end.... and usually do it in 3 to 4 days. |
