Ralt Cut Off Switch Question??
Finishing up restoration of Ralt RT5-190!! I have the original style pull cable cut off switch in the car. Before I took the car apart, it worked.... but now back in the car it doesn't work. I must be missing a piece at the switch.? It appears that when you pull the switch there should be enough interferance to cause the switch (lucas) to rotate. I pull mine and there is no "grip"
Anyone familiar with the switch and what parts are involved, and what part I've lost???
Any help appreciated.
Thanks, Scott Sanders
Remote Master Cut Off Switch
During the restoration of my RT 5, I had the same problem. It was always "iffy". I must have replaced the Lucas switch on my Lola T440 at least 4 or 5 times over the last few years. So, , I would change to another manufactuer even if you don't decide to relocate the master switch. However, I decided to relocate the switch so that the handle was outside the rear of the cockpit bodywork, just in case the car ever ended up upside down. That way the safety workers could reach it before righting the car. Mounted it between the roll bar and the rear roll bar support and just drilled a small hole through the fiberglass. The key is wired to the car, so it is simply a matter of removing the key from the switch when removing the cockpit bodywork.
