Switches
Hi all,
anyone know if this kind of switch is IVA safe:
Seems the criteria is "would be likely to retract or detach with no sharp edges when subjected to an impact of 40Kgf". Short of belting
one with a hammer, that seems a bit vague to me. Anyone passed/been failed on one?

look at the exempt areas of the dashboard. it depends where you are putting the switch, if they're in the exempt area, then fine. if not, then i
dobt they'd pass, but they do look rounded enough

Which function on your car is so dangerous that it requires these monstrosities?
Are you thinking of fitting Hellfire Rockets to your cycle-wings or roll-bar?

I have one in the middle of my dash for my fog switch. Looks like i may have to change it now.
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

I'll probably stick all the switches in the exempt zone anyway, I was just wondering how much flexibility I have to move stuff around. If in
doubt, I'll err on the side of safety.

"Requires" be damned. Doomsday switches are cool, end of
