I'm finishing up my 1995 325is track car. I purchased a manual FE system that has two pulls. I know the one goes within easy reach of driver / passenger but am wondering where the best location for the cornerworker pull is. Any ideas?
Thanks, Scott

If you can, I'd put it near the electrical cut-off switch.

Thanks for the input but as of now I don't have an electrical cut off (and wouldn't be sure where on the car to put that).
I don't know if the pull should go front, side or where. I assume it should go on the exterior but where...?

I like to have them drivers side. My thinking is I want eveything to be easy for the corner-worker. If I can't get myself out, I don't want someone having to figure out how to help me.

Drivers side makes sence but where? Front fender, "B" pillar, drivers side front grill?

Well it depends on how much work you want to do/ how much is going to change with future plans.
I've seen the electrical cutoff attached to the rollcage on the a pillar area (easy reach for driver/corner worker). Fire pull on center dash stack.
I've seen both mounted to a or b-pillar on passenger side rollcage. Easier to route cables to, but not so easy for driver too operate, but easy for crew/corner worker.
I've seen both mounted thru the front driver's fender, or cutout made in hood, and switches mounted below windshield.

BMW Motorsport has secondary cutoff switches at the base of the drivers side windshield. You can actually buy the part if you really want to :) Its available in thier MS catalog.
