    There shouldnt be a engine cut off switch mounted outside the vehicle last time I flicked through the regs

    Fire supresion kit is mandatory one in car, one outside (scuttle panel is usual place) cable operated as in like a bicyle brake cable operation (altho the 12v operate kits are trick as )

    "For Extinguisher Or Battery Master Switches"

    Usually marked by something like:



    Is what I'm thinking of...

    edit: Can see it in the pic below, below the windscreen, one for extinguisher one for battery cut off:


    edit 2: Thats also what the hole in the end of the batt switches is for!

    Mark, he said a handle on the co driver side and a handle on the exterior linked by a cable. That is the extinguisher system.

    Running a twin cut off switch requires a hell of a lot more than just one link cable and also the interior switvh is invariable in the middle where both occupants can reach it, and as mike said, isn't normally required on the exterior, but if it is used, yes, that sticker can be applied

    He said a handle that can be used by the driver/co driver, not 2 handles... unless you mean the exterior "handle" which is T pull cord like I linked which operates the single cut off switch.

    You suck at understanding the "one" on the outside to be used by the safety marshall is a T pull cord which is attached to the end of the single master cut off switch, that's why they have a hole in them, and the "cable" is as in bike brake cable, not strands of copper

    The red T pull cord is the fire extinguisher. It is not, or ever will be, the electrical system cut off.
