In the high-intensity environment of a race car cockpit, accidental switch activation can be disastrous. Bumping your ignition kill switch mid-corner or inadvertently triggering a fire suppression system while reaching for a radio button can end your race instantly. The Longacre 45370 Flip-Up Switch Cover is the professional solution for protecting critical "must-not-miss" circuits.
Modeled after military aviation hardware, this spring-loaded safety cover adds a physical barrier over any standard toggle switch. To activate the circuit, the driver must flip the red guard up. In an emergency, the driver can simply "slap" the cover down, which mechanically forces the toggle switch back to the OFF position. It provides the perfect balance of accidental-activation protection and rapid-emergency shutdown.
Key Features
-
Accidental Activation Protection: Provides a rugged physical guard that must be intentionally lifted before the switch can be moved to the "ON" position—ideal for ignition, fuel pumps, and nitrous systems.
-
Rapid Emergency Shutdown: The spring-loaded "slap-down" design allows a driver to instantly kill the circuit by hitting the cover, forcing the toggle back to the "OFF" position in a single motion.
-
High-Visibility Safety Red: The vibrant red finish ensures the most critical switches on the dashboard are immediately identifiable to both the driver and track safety crews.
-
Standard 15/32" Mounting: Designed to fit perfectly over the neck of standard heavy-duty racing toggle switches. It mounts securely between the switch body and the dashboard panel.
-
Durable Spring-Loaded Action: Features a high-tension internal spring that keeps the cover snapped tightly in either the fully open or fully closed position, ensuring it won't rattle or flop under heavy chassis vibration.
