Where does the inertia cut switch fit in?

The inertia switch is a vital bit of safety kit.  If the car crashes the sudden jolt should turn the power to the fuel pump off.  I have read of people leaving this component out of their systems but think that is just mad.  Would you want the high pressure fuel to keep pumping if the car crashes?

The switch was fitted to the Triumph Stag as well the TR6 and 2500PI so it is not to hard to find.  There are new style modern inertia switches available.

It easy to take apart and clean up the contacts.
