No worries, I thought as a new member you may have not been aware 👍

And the ignition switch would drive you insane, on that V8

Trust me, as someone who's had a temporary ignition switch of the same flick down cover style, in a temporary position for a while, (behind my gear lever), the damn plastic covers are like a hair trigger, brush it and it snaps down, turning off the engine.

 

Knock that one with a gloved hand on the wheel, mid corner, and off the engine goes, hopefully not taking you and the car with it!!!

Agree poor placement. But surely would be wired to be on when the covers down closed? Normally on aircraft the cover is down with the switch In the "normal" position and cover only up with the switch/system placed into an alternate or off position.

I did once have such a switch, mine as standard was only on when the flip up cover was up and as Dave said you only have to brush the cover for it to shap shut and kill the car, I had this occur on a bumpy road and after that I turned the switch upside down, so off was with the cover in the up position, you have to file out the small square tang on the flip cover where it slides over the switch, but then you need to made sure it's held tight to prevent rotation . A few dash versions later and I binned the whole thing off.
