Master Switch Location

[Greg Amy]

Mine is just inside the passenger window, mounted to the A-pillar front cage leg. I'm pretty screwed if I end up on my right side against a wall...

Yup. There doesn't seem to be PERFECT location. The passenger side window also means you can't turn it on after you are all strapped in and realize the car won't start because it is off. The driver's side window, however, potentially blocks egress. One in each location in series would solve most of the problems, but adds another failure point.

Oh well.

Any other thoughts?

Lots of SM guys and my RX7 has it mounted on the right side of the main hoop just inside the window.

A Miata is small enough that most people can reach it in that location while belted in.

I can't reach it in my RX while belted in, but it's easy to see and access by corner workers-- assuming you're not on your side against a tire wall. I plan to relocate mine to a more easily reachable location- maybe just farther inside the cage- because this car is wired such that gauges and some 'other stuff' are active as soon as the switch is turned on. Maybe I should just fix that part.. lots of little things on this new car that I'd do differently.

Driver's side to the left of the dash mounted to the upper door bar. Easily accessible through the window, even with the net up. I wouldn't feel safe if I couldn't reach the switch while belted in.

+1 that is what I did the second time.

I also moved mine from next to the rain tray outside the cockpit to inside to the left of the dash, much more convenient.
