Re: Woodfin's SS GT/TB construction series
Dale,
Here are both ends of the master cutoff cable. The "taillight" end has a flat strap tab with clamp and the "shifter" end has a clip like used with a dragster throttle cable.

Re: Woodfin's SS GT/TB construction series
The drivers handle moves about 1/2 the distance the shifter moves. In the above photos the drivers handle is "off"

Re: Woodfin's SS GT/TB construction series
Looks good, Larry.
I just finished fabricating a shift mount for the Quarter Stick in my Mustang. It's wedge shaped sloping down towards the front to straighten the stick out for the 2-3 pull. The lever could mount to the side like you have going. The car is buttoned up for a coat of primer right now. I'll post a pic of the shifter setup in a few days. Between your build and Rich Taylor's Ford vs Chevy thread I get a lot of useful ideas. I'm sure he reads this, so thanks to both of you. Dale |

Re: Woodfin's SS GT/TB construction series
After looking at your use of the K&R air armed unit, I also purchased one. that is a trick little piece. I am using it for my street/strip dodge coronet. it will be for the three speed shifter and also tires.thanks for the idea. I am just not convinced for my t-stop use in the race car, I will stick to co2 for that one, lots less chance of water contamination. I have been debating the use of a battery cut off inside the car, love the safety aspect of it and if I forget to turn the master on. BUT somehow, somewhere I am sure I would accidentally hit it and kill the car during a race.

Re: Woodfin's SS GT/TB construction series
The vision is coming along. Fenders & hood temporary set on for fit check. I wanted to double check where some wiring and some components will be mounted.

Re: Woodfin's SS GT/TB construction series
Keith,
note that the switch handle is well ahead of the shifter. This buildup is the 4th time I have incorporated the drivers electrical cut off handle in a race car. After many runs never any remote situation where the switch was accidentally turn off. During a run you are no where near the lever. However, there have been several times I was strapped in, ready to roll and the power was off. Turning on power is as easy as reaching beyond the shifter and pulling a lever. Very convenient.

Re: Woodfin's SS GT/TB construction series
Any ideas who would adjust the 2 step going down the track, and why? Just no logic behind some rules.
