Seeing as you're fitting one you may as well follow the MSA guidelines - which would be as Chris says. Make sure you lubricate the cable well
and keep checking it. Those where the pull handle is mounted vertically have a tendency to collect water at the bottom of any bends and seize up
pretty quickly! Don't ask me how I know!

I also have a cut-off switch for the electrics......
The car was built for race too.....and fitted before the fire systems were mandatory.....

And, as Fozzie has done, place them in an area where they won't get broken off and they still can be accessed when you've rolled it!
